Thanks.

That is in the settings on the msn site. Go to settings on the mail screen.

Hope that helps

Go into Edit > Preferences.
Click on the concerned account, and click on Edit on the right side.
Then third tab, there should be "Keep the emails on the server".

Note: This is for if you are using POP3 to receive your mail. If you are using IMAP, this is automatic (folders are "mirrored" on your local disk).

Found it---thanks!

How do I set it up to use IMAP? Currently I have it set for IMAP in the Receiving Mail tab and I am using pop3.live.com as the server address, and in the IMAP Headers tab I have the "Fetch all Headers " selected; BUT I get the message 'Error while scanning folders in 'IMAP server pop3.live.com'.

I want to mirror my folders. Is this possible with a free Hotmail account?

thanks.

Unfortunately, Hotmail doesn't currently provide any IMAP server.
