I'm trying to get Entourage X to retrieve my POP mail properly. Every
time I do a "Send and Receive," Entourage insists on retrieving ALL
700+ messages in the Inbox of my Web-based account, instead of just
the new ones. (When I did my very first "Send and Receive," I went
through the process of downloading all 700+ e-mails onto my local
computer. Doesn't Entourage realize that all those e-mails have been
received already? I even tried moving them out of the Inbox into a new
folder I named "Old Inbox", and Entourage still keeps trying to retrieve
them.)
Then, it throws ALL the mail from my Inbox into the Trash folder on my
Web-based account instead of leaving a copy on the server, like it's
supposed to.
(Under "Tools>Accounts" for this POP Web-based account I've set up
the Entourage options "to leave a copy of each message on the server"
and to "delete messages from the server" after they are deleted from
my local computer.)
Adding insult to injury: When I delete a received POP message from my
local computer, it doesn't delete that same message from my Web-
based POP account, like it's supposed to.
My settings must be okay because my local computer CAN send and
receive mail from and to my Web-based account; it's just not listening
to the preferences I set up under Tools>Account>Edit
Account>Options.
Why is it doing this? So obnoxious! Any ideas! Thank you!!
