Generally I have no problems with getting my mail sent to my OE, however I have this weird problem periodically. Even though I delete my mail in OE, it appears that my mail is not being deleted from my Verizon email account--so all the original mail is store there even though I have deleted it in my OE email account. Periodically my Verizon mail will try to send all the mail stored there to my OE which results in me getting an error message (0X8004210A) in OE. It times out because there are so many emails trying to be sent. I'm thinking that there must be some sort of setting in my Verizon mail that I need to fix that will delete the mail once it is sent to my OE. To solve the problem temporarily, I went into my Verizon mail and manually deleted all the mail. Once the huge amount of email store there was deleted, OE worked fine. Does anyone know a permanent fix for this problem? Thanks in advance!

The best thing to do in my opinion is to have OE delete the emails from the server when you download them to OE. Assuming that OE is set to leave copies of the messages on the server, do this:
Tools ==> Accounts ==> the email account you want to update ==> Properties ==> Advanced tab ==> uncheck "Leave a copy of messages on server" ==> OK ==> Close
That should fix it. Now if that checkbox is not currently checked, I don't know why emails would not be deleted from the server.

I would advise against this method. The reason is it will download all mail to the local server and not keep a copy on the server. So if your PC or Hard drive crashes you will lose all your email. Or if you use 2 PC's you will not get the mail on both of them.

I personally like to leave it on there for 2 days then delete them so I have a chance to put it on another computer just in case.

Well, I did say it was "my opinion." Maybe I should have said "in my humble opinion."
To each his own I guess, but I have had it set that way since I first began using OE (1992? don't know when it first came out, but have been exclusively using OE since it did), which is more years ago than I can really remember, have never lost a single email doing it that way, business or personal. Of course I do back up my PC fairly regularly, and I use the free Outlook Express Quick Backup periodically also, since it not only saves all of the emails but all of the accounts and the Address Book.
