ok, if using outlook express or outlook, go to tools, accounts then to your mail accounts, go to advanced, then tab to leave a copy of mail on the server and uncheck the box there. You will need to do this for all your email accounts.----- Original Message --- From: ANDY COLLINS To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Thursday, July 25, 2013 8:49 PM Subject: [access-uk] Help please with a Mail server issue Hi all - For a long time, I just had a single laptop where all my emails downloaded to. This is via pop3. I now have a MacBook and an iPhone and iPod also set up to receive mail. Thing is, when I've downloaded mail to either the Mac or the phone/pod, when I open the laptop [the original machine where mail was set up] everything downloads again to it. I'd like to have mail removed from the server when downloaded, so does this mean I need to change from pop3 to imap? If so, what do I need to do for each device, or on my providers website. Thanks - Andy
