Newbie question: outlook express deletes messages from my hotmail account?

I have several acouts hotmail.  I want to start using Outlook Express (or Eudora or other) as my email on my PC client but want full access to my emails on remote PCs via Explorer.  Outlook Express will download all the messages in my Inbox in?  Will he disappear from my hotmail account?  Or is he just leave my only hotmail accounts?

You can access your Hotmail mailbox by using a POP account in Outlook Express and, Yes, unless you configure the account to leave messages on the server, it will remove them from the Inbox when it downloads, as well as all appropriate POP clients.  Simply set up the account in order to leave them on the server.  It will be on the Advanced tab of the account properties.  See this: http://windowslivehelp.com/solution.aspx?solutionid=99d4b13d-13db-40d8-9cdf-172002d4194c

Also, remember that access to a POP mailbox has no notion of folders.  Only what is in the Inbox will be visible to any client POP, whatever you use.

  • Windows Live Mail not send or receive e-mail messages from a Hotmail account

    I hope that this has not been answered previously, I searched the site for answers, but nothing helped.

    Quick description of the problem:

    As a result of an impending change of internet service provider & lose the long date E-mail address associated with the supplier, thought that it is appropriate to create a Hotmail account to avoid losing another email address in the future.

    Windows Live Mail 2012 is not playing ball, but when you add the Hotmail account details that have been set up, I get an error message which is: -.

    Can't send or receive messages for the Hotmail account (NRaccts).

    Server: 'https://mail.services.live.com/DeltaSync_v2.0.0/Sync.aspx '.
    Windows Live Mail error ID: 0x8DE00005

    I use Windows 7 Professional & have not had any problems before with Windows live mail.

    I note that a new Hotmail folder has been configured in Windows Live Mail & when I click on I see a message that says that "Windows live mail is synchronize the accounts.»  Check back in a few minutes"However this updates never & when I press send/receive I get the above error message.

    Would appreciate any assistance with this question please.

    Thank you

    I assume you have an hotmail/outlook/live email address.

    Microsoft migrates all users to a different format.  WLM can be used, but may not be used in 'delta-sync '.  It must be used via IMAP.

    You must have the latest version of WLM

    You must remove the current account (after the registration of your data) and reinstall using IMAP

    IMAP for PC

    Server of incoming IMAP mail

    IMAP - mail.outlook.com
    Server port for incoming IMAP mail: 993; Encryption: SSL

    Outgoing mail SMTP server

    SMTP - mail.outlook.com
    Outgoing SMTP mail server port: 587; Encryption: SSL (TLS)

    Server requires authentication (THE)

    For more information go here

    IMAP for MAC

    Outlook.com does support IMAP and SMTP.

    Incoming server:
    IMAP: imap - mail.outlook.com
    Port: 993
    Encrypted connection: SSL
    Outgoing server:
    SMTP: smtp - mail.outlook.com
    Port: 25 or 587
    Encrypted connection: TLS
    Username: your username
    Password: your password
    This does not work on mac os x mail unless you disable the pop in your first outlook.com account. If you have mac os x mail and you do not disable the pop in your outlook.com account first, mail will be automatically set up pop and smtp.

  • I want to delete my Outlook Express 6 program from my computer.

    Original title: Ms.

    I want to delete my Outlook Express 6 program from my computer.  I don't want no more of this program.  I now use XFinity E-mail and Outlook gets in my way when I train to attach attachments and other things.  How to remove Outlook Express 6 program from my computer?

    OE is integrated with XP so you cannot remove it. In the control panel. Add/Remove programs. Add/Remove Windows components, uncheck OE to remove access to it.
     
    Note that if you use Xfinity Webmail, if you try a right click on a file and send to | Recipient of the message, you will get an error message saying: there is no default e-mail program. Webmail is not recognized when you perform this action. You will need to open a new message window, and then attach the file.

  • Delete messages from Gmail, but keep in Apple Mail?

    Hi all.

    I use Apple Mail to download my Gmail via IMAP (Apple Mail 9.3, OSX 10.11.5).

    The problem is that my Gmail account is complete. To free up space in Gmail, I want to delete messages from Gmail, but keep them locally in Apple Mail. How can I do? I guess it's the server settings, but I don't know if I need to tinker with the Apple Mail, Gmail server settings, or both.

    I tried to delete the messages in Gmail, but Apple Mail sync with Gmail and delete them locally, too.

    Thank you!

    Activate the sidebar of accounts, so you can see the hierarchy of depot.

    You should see a section here which says on my Mac. Click to show it, then right click to add box to the letters it. Call it something like old Gmail 2008-2014. Now you can select your old Gmails mainly Gmail Inbox and sent boxes and drag them to this mailbox on my Mac (folder). If you move hundreds or thousands of emails, here could be a delay before they appear in the new location, so don't panic.

    Note: Many users choose simply to archive old emails, but do in Gmail, still continues to them on the server, if you're not reduce used storage space.

  • Search in the start menu displays old emails from my Hotmail account, how can I stop this?

    Search in the start menu displays old emails from my Hotmail account. I find it tiresome and very secure as anyone who uses my computer can read my emails.  I guess my computer is somehow related to my Windows Live account. I did a search for these emails in my Hotmail account and they don't even exist.

    How can I go to stop this? I tried to look in the Windows Live options but couldn't find anything. Thank you

    These files are probably within your e-mail program on your computer (for example, Outlook, Windows Live Mail, Thunderbird or another program).

    You can turn off the messages to appear in the search results, but anyone could still just open your e-mail program and snooping.  The only way to be really sure is to use a password on your computer and let other people use a guest account (or make their own account).
