Leaving Mail on Server
Note: Although this page is helpful by providing graphics, we recommend that you only use it for reference. If you want to print the page you can save ink by printing the instructions with text only.
If you have two or more machines configured with the same e-mail address (i.e. Home and
Work), you can configure your e-mail program to leave a copy of your messages on the
server to be retrieved at a different location. There are a few notes however:
One machine becomes the Master computer.
- You want this to be the machine you use most of the time.
- This is the machine that will receive all e-mail messages, including those that have been opened by the slave(s).
- Once you open messages on this machine, you cannot retrieve them anywhere else.
- You do not configure this machine with the instructions below.
The other machine(s) become the Slave(s).
- Slave machine(s) will only receive messages that haven't been downloaded at the master location.
- When you retrieve messages on slave machine(s), a copy of those messages are left at the server to be retrieved later by the master.
- Use the following instructions for slave machine(s):
