Justin,
I seem to remember that there is a pop-up button in the Mail menu
under mail/preferences where if you choose in the table of your
accounts the particular mail account you require, you can then locate
a pop-up button which specifies how long - or if at all - you want to
keep your messages on the server. You may need to check all possible
tabs under the toolbar for your account to find the button.Hope this
helps a little.

Hello
I have just obtained a second macbook to complament my macbook pro as
a substitute.
I want to set up my gmail and university mail on my macbook so I can
keep up on that without having to muck through html, but I want the
same messages that I downloaded onto my macbook, to be downloaded to
my macbook pro when I start up using it again. I would imagine that
this means setting up prefs to prevent it from deleting messages from
the server. Such a checkbox exists in mail and I have tried it
before, though it didn't work.
Does anybody here have a suggestion as to what I should do? Perhaps
there is a part to this process that I have missed?
Thank you
Justin Harford
