I access my e-mail using several computers. On my main computer, I use XP and Outlook Express, where the accounts are set to delete messages on server (i.e., "Leave a copy of messages on server" is not checked). On all the other computers, which use Windows Live Mail, "Leave a copy of messages on server" is checked. Until a few months ago, this was running just fine.
Now, when I use the main computer to download messages, it will delete them as far as the main computer is concerned, but it retains them as far as the other computers are concerned. What I mean is that when I download messages, say, message 1, 2, 3, on the main computer, and get back on later on the same computer, it will only download new messages, say, 4 and 5, as it should. However, if I then check my messages using one of the other computers, it will download the old, supposedly deleted, messages also, i.e., messages 1 to 5, before downloading any newer messages, e.g., 6 and 7. This is really a nuisance, as there are some computers that I only use occasionally, e.g., when I travel.
How can I fix this?
TIA.
