50778 2002-05-26 01:32:00 Mu husband is o'seas & using our web mailbox to send msgs. I can't reply as mine pop back into my box. I've tried telling them to not open on receipt which they aren't - but how can I get them to stay in his sector? I realise I've got to 'network' the webmail somehow!? Using actrix, OE, Me.
If anyone can help you've just saved a marriage.....

50779 2002-05-26 01:53:00 Because you are sending it to the same account then OE would always download it. What you could try is going on to webmail acct and seeing if you have the option of 'leaving copy on server' I use xtramail and I have seen that as one of my options (although I have never used)

Otherwise set up a web based email ie Hotmail (getting bad press at them moment tho') or Yahoo etc.

good luck

50780 2002-05-26 08:30:00 Web mail leaves mail on the server by default.

Set your Outlook Express to leave mail on the server as well so you do not delete the message from the server before he has received it.
With Outlook Express open select Tools/Accounts
Click on the Mail Tab
Click on Properties on the right.
Click on Advanced at the top.
Tick the box Leave a copy mail on server and tick Remove from server
after xx days
Enter the number of days you need 10 should be OK
Click Apply and OK
