Am I being stupid? A rhetorical question

[Old(ish) Mike]

Hi I have just rebuilt my laptop following a big crash when I lost everything. Yes I did have backups, yes I did practice restores but I wasn't expecting the backup app to not recognise it's own files on my external hard drive. Ah well, thats life! Anyway, I am gradually recovering and re-installing applications as I go along.

I had MWP 2010 for a week or so prior to the crash, not their fault though. But now I have reloaded it it doesn't seem to run quite the same; In itself not a big hassle but one major annoyance I cannot resolve is, previously, when I selected the files I wanted to download, opened my mail program and dowloaded the emails to my machine, Mailwasher removed them from the list. Now I keep getting the same ones back time and time again. I have set Outlook 2010 to delete files once dowloaded but I still seem to retain the list in MWP for a day or so

Have I missed a setting somewhere?

Any help / advice most welcome

Mike

That isn't really a web server type issue which is what this forum is for, not really a 2010 issue either so probably best asked in the General Tech Help forum.

The answer though is that there is a setting in your mail program for leaving messages on the server once they have been downloaded, you need to tell it not to leave them there but to delete them.

Thanks for the reply, I will post in the general area; re you recommendation however, I hve done that and told Outlook to delete from the server; I'll double check but I was prety sure all was well
