| Most email programs are configured by default to remove email from the mail server once they have picked up the messages.
However, sometimes it can be set to leave the messages on the mail server, which over time can add up to quite a large amount. This not only slows down collecting of email at the customers end, it can cause problems at the server end because of large email boxes...
The following steps will explain how to set the 3 most common email clients back to removing mail from the mail server. Outlook Express (Windows 98, ME, 2000, XP) | Windows Mail (Windows Vista) | Thunderbird (All Windows) | |
