Leaving Messages on the Server When Using an Email Client
The default setting of some email clients is to download your messages from the server onto your computer. To keep a copy of your messages on the server, you must modify your settings in your email client.
Note: If multiple computers are used to access the same email account, the settings must be changed on each computer. Also, if multiple users access the same email account, each user must change this setting.
