Accessing emails from another PC

Thanks for your reply DL.
How do I do set Mail to leave a copy on my server (sorry, I don't even know
what this means!). If I do this, will I be able to view my received mail but
not my sent mail? Also, the main reason for asking is that I need to reboot
my PC and the last time I did this I lost all my Windows Mail emails. If I
leave a copy on my server and then reboot my PC, will I be able to retrieve
all of my emails?

Many thanks
Sharon

Go to Tools, Accounts, select that mail account, Properties, Advanced.
Enable "Leave a copy of messages on the server."
You may also want to select one or both of the associated 'remove'
options, or else messages will accumulate on the server until your
quota is exceeded.
