[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1112342, member: 46727"] Be careful with that setting.... I have found that there are times I accidentally deleted email from my mail box on the Mac. The easiest way to get them back is from the server which keeps them stored. (Depends on your ISP as to how long they'll retain them.) I always advise users not to choose the option of removing the mail message from the server after it's downloaded for the very reason I gave above. It's much easier to just access the server every so often and delete them manually when you feel they're no longer needed. However, if your Time Machine backups are up to date, keeping them on the server might not be necessary. Of course it's your choice. :Smirk: [/QUOTE]
