Download Email From Server Print

 

Leaving email messages on the server takes up a lot of storage space and can cause disk quota issues for your account.  Here's how you can make sure your email program is downloading and deleting email messages from the mail server.

 

Outlook Express, Outlook 98/2000, Windows Mail.

Open Outlook Express , Outlook 98/2000, or Windows Mail.

1. From the Tools menu select Accounts. The Internet Accounts box appears.

2. Select the Mail tab. (Note: Windows Mail does not have the Mail tab, but shows the account in the Internet Accounts window). Your email account appears.

3. Click on your account,  usually named imail.infront.com, then click the Properties button on the right. The imail.infront.com properties appear.

4. Select the Advanced tab.

5. Under the Delivery section: Clear the check box Leave a copy of messages on the server if you do not need to save mail on the server. If you would like to leave messages on the server, please check the box Remove from server after, and click the arrows to specify the number of days or weeks emails should be saved. We recommend 14 days max, but you should never leave a copy of email on the server for more than 30 days.

6. Click OK and then click Close to return to the email program.
