| 565605 | 2007-07-04 04:40:00 | I recently had to get some emails thru OE for work but wanted to get them asap so I set up my home computer's OE with the same details ( I don't usually use OE at home) but I kept getting different contents in the inbox of the work comp to the one at home. After a bit of headscratch I figured what was happening was that the way OE works is that you download emails to your comp and the email is then on that comp and no longer on the server, unlike, say Yahoo. So when you access the inbox from another comp you are only seeing whatever emails are there since the last download, and that could have gone to another comp so you no longer are seeing the same contents. Does this make sense? Is this the way it works? And if so means to me another reason not to use OE, unless you only ever use one computer which would make OE kind of useless for traveling. TIA hope I have explained myself clearly. Am really just seeking confirmation that this is the way it works.:) |

| 565607 | 2007-07-04 04:48:00 | Oh OK thanks for that. Obviously didn't dig deep enough. :thumbs: | mark c (247) | ||
| 565608 | 2007-07-04 05:01:00 | OK found it. Tools/Accounts/Properties/Advanced. I owe an apology to OE. Thanks for you help, that was quickly resolved. |
