hi,

I share an email account with my colleague which we both check using Outlook Express 6. So we set our Delivery Properties to "Leave a copy of messages on server" (checked) and unchecked "Remove from server after x days" and unchecked "Remove from server when deleted from 'Deleted Items'".

But still, when I am away from the office for a few days, and when I return, all the mail has been downloaded onto my colleague's PC (because she has been checking her mail) and I can't retrieve the mail from the server. Why is this so? IS there another option or setting which I have overlooked that is causing this?

Thanks for the help!
