why do some of my email accounts with IDNet leave messages on the server after getting them and some dont.
I have one account inbox that is getting full and when checking it from web mail it takes longer to open.Yes I can just delete them from web mail but why need to when I dont have to with other accounts
Probably because in your mail client settings you've got it set to leave mail on the server.
ah right. so there may be a setting in there to say remove from server or similar?
well I still use outlook express on XP and cant see anything in there,just quickly looked though.The other account is on Windows 7 and its my sons but hes away so cant check that.Do you know if win7 has or not
It'll be in Server Settings in OE. Is it POP or IMAP?
its POP
There'll be a tick box somewhere that says leave mail on the server.

Win 7 has no actual email client, you download one like Windows Live mail. OE was deemed to be a bit of security risk.
