Outlook 2007 webmail question

[Kevin Street]

Howdy - a bit of a lurker here, but now I need a tad of help from anyone in the know.

Basically, my currently email setup is for Outlook 2007 to download email that gets sent to my domain addresses. This email is avaliable for me to check online if I wanted too, but the interface is rather horrid, plus I use other Outlook features so it's nice to have it all in one place.

Anywho, my question is this: When email is downloaded from the server, it is also deleted from the server. However, I have a PC and a laptop, both using Outlook 2007, and when I download my email on the desktop, I can't later download it again to the laptop. So... is there anyway to make Outlook NOT delete the email from the server when it downloads it, so that I can re-download it on the laptop (and keeping it all on the server is a good way to have all my email backed up too)?

Thanks!

This explains it exactly the same for 2007

Alternatively you should be able to setup email forwarding on your main email address to another email address you setup on the laptop and configure the laptops reply address as your main email if you understand. This will then not cause issues with any mail box size restrictions when leaving copies of emails on the server.

Another related web mail question...I just cannot get my 2007 outlook to accept hotmail mail. I've got live mail (the new hotmail or w/e), ive tried that outlook connector but it never launches when i start outlook next (its supposed to) and when i try the wizard to search for automatic configuration (or set manual) it still doesnt find it..

Anyone?

Not sure if this helps, as I am going from older information. Hotmail remvoed pop3 access on new accounts I think unless you pay a subscription. On old accounts you can still use pop3 which I am able to as it was available at that time on the free accounts.

It might be that things have changed but from what I recall those changes were made. If you do pay subscription to them for pop3 access then they should have some support I would of thought, sorry cant be of more help.

i still think the best way is to buy some cheap hosting (£15 odd a year) and you have you own domain email and the freedom to do what ever you want!!!

I agree with that 100%
