stop windows mail to download the older messages

How can I stop the windows mail program to download messages that are older than say for example of the year 2007.

I just want to have recent emails (6mnths) only.

Loïc

Try this:

In Windows Mail, choose Tools > accounts > account name > properties > Advanced tab > uncheck leave a copy on the server.

See if the above applies.

See you soon...

  • How to stop Windows Mail by downloading my emails

    I have Microsoft Windows Mail worm 6. Whenever I launch it, it downloads all my emails on my computer. This means I can access is no longer my emails from my iPhone, or via the web from any other remote computer. Is it possible to set up Windows Mail so that it displays emails without downloading (synch it with my mail box web somehow, so that what I do in one is reflected in the other)?

    Sure.  Tools | Accounts | Mail | Properties | Advanced - Check: leave a copy of messages on the server.

    You can set to delete after X days don't fall your server is blocked, but still give you time to download for both applications.

  • Windows Mail showing no indicator no message after importing the messages

    I just finished importing all my files from my old Outlook Express 6 (from Windows XP) program e-mail in my new Windows Vista Mail program. All the e-mail messages have been transferred successfully except that none of the message that have been defined in OE6 flags are displayed in Windows Mail. How to get back my original message indicators?

    Windows Mail imports only the files/message. Anything marked with a flag or as watched will manually.

  • Since download IE9 has changed the font on my message preview, on Windows Mail panel, and the symbol of the attachment is not there. How can I change this back?

    Since download IE9 has changed the font on my message preview, on Windows Mail panel, and the symbol of the attachment is not there.  How can I change this back?

    Just go in the Panel. Programs and features and then click on the left of "view installed updates" and find Windows Internet Explorer 9, and then you can uninstall it.  You should know that it is installed automatically via Windows Update, so you'll need to keep it to be reinstalled.  I think you can go Windows Update manually, and then it will ask you, then you can't deny it there and it should stick.

  • Thunderbird download the same message, off guard popstate.dat antivirus, renamed to old, still have the problem. Ready to upgrade to Outlook or another prog to mail.

    Read about other similar problems in the forum, tried the possible one - Disabled popstate.dat antivirus solution, renamed popstateold.dat, TB closed, reopened to he downloaded e-mails until the more recent with the problem and still trying to download it again and again. Can't download at the end, as refreshment shows always the same amount still on the server to download, even after downloading the same message several times. This has happened several times in the past months, with several duplicates, but not this loop continues. This is the second time in a week where this has happened. My first attempt to fix - I copied all the .msf files to the new location and uninstalled TB. Then reinstalled and back .msf files. He seemed to be ok for a few days, but now have the same issue. All windows updates to date, was updated to the most recent version of TB before it happens.

  • 8.1 window isn't downloading store as message is coming that you must enter the administrator account.

    8.1 window isn't downloading store as message is coming that you must enter the administrator account. I already use admin account. How to solve it?

    Original title: Update window 8

    You may not use the store from the built-in Administrator account (the one that is actually named 'administrator'), because this account is supposed to be a backup for emergencies only.

    If you create your own account with a different name (it may still be level administrator), you can use the store.

  • Windows Mail - where are the Images?

    Windows Mail has suddenly / recently ceased to display images in the body of the email, replaced by the place with Red Cross holders.  I am running Vista Home Premium; service pack 2; 64-bit operating system.  Windows Mail I have * no * check box in the Options - Security to block images and other external content in HTML messages. (In other words, all images should download automatically).  There is no 'right click' option to download images when I have an open message. There an InfoBar at the top of the message to download and display the images in the current message.  The images disappeared maybe a week or two ago.  Help please - I've exhausted the obvious options.

    @tirenpace: Thanks - but none of those who apply.  I don't have any problem to see images on Web pages (and in any case, I use FireFox as my browser).  And, as I said in my question, I have already set up Windows Mail to download all images; and there * no. * InfoBar at the top of the message to download and display the images in the current message.

    I stumbled upon a resolution however; which makes no sense, but that worked.  To restore the default settings of IE.  I don't know how it worked, but it did.
