Andy, Messages are downloaded from the isp email server and are usually deleted from the server once downloaded. This means once they are on your wives that is the only place that email exists. If you delete it then it is gone. You can usually set your email client to not delete the emails once downloaded from the isp mail server. If you do this on on only one of the machines then the other will always get all the messages as well. Don't know where to find the setting to do that in oe as I use outlook 2k I'm afraid. hth Mark Threadgold www.ccr100.co.uk -----Original Message----- From: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Andy Logue Sent: 13 April 2006 16:06 To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [access-uk] Internet Security and Routers again Hi all. Further to my previous message. Whilst trying to sort out my wife's computer I noticed a load of messages coming in, in particular, I noticed one from Tristram and another from Carol. As I was intending to read these in my computer downstairs, I deleted them. Unfortunately, they did not appear on my computer afterwards. Is this something to do with the check box within OE titled Delete from server after deleting from my In-Box? I think it probably is! Tristram and Carol, can I be an absolute pest and ask for you to re-send your comments please? Best wishes.
