Comments (16)If you are using outlook express, and have that much mail build up that it is causing problems at your server end, you can change the setting. Just uncheck leave copy of email on server. That way, once it comes into one computer, it wont come in to the other, and it will only be on your pc, not the server. To do this, open outlook express, go to tools, and accounts. Click on the Mail tab, highlight YourAccount and click on the Properties button. Click on the Advanced tab. In the delivery section, uncheck leave copy of messages on server. Unless you really want another email address, this will take care of the problem so you dont have to change it. Good Luck...See Morecan't delete an email message, trouble?

Comments (11)I've had a yahoo email address that predates gmail, but now I have a gmail address as well. I've also had a hotmail address that also predates gmail, and I got that one because the only email that gets into my inbox is from people in my address book - everything else goes into the spam inbox, and I check that also to see if anything arrives there that I want to transfer to my address book. I use the hotmail address for any commercial transaction that I do and expect to get put on their mailing list. I do not think it is unreasonable to have three email addresses, and I used to have more - one was German, another Italian, and the third was French, and they were all on yahoo. I had separate identities for each of these because of yahoo groups that I wanted to join. Back then, I used yahoo messenger, and I would get simultaneous messages from my different identities. At least once I was carrying on a conversation with one person in German while carrying on another conversation with a different person in Italian. I think it helped my language skills and also made it easier for me to switch between German and Italian. I really do not like instant messaging any more, and I do not use it on facebook either, which I seldom visit anymore. As it turned out, the person I was chatting with in German was American, and he also lived in Los Angeles, and so it would have been much easier for us to have chatted in English, but it took us a while to realize this. I've had similar experiences in Mexico (and Costa Rica) with phone calls that I would start in Spanish and eventually realize that I was speaking with an American - or in the case with Costa Rica, a German who spoke English much better than he did Spanish....See More- 4 years agolast modified: 4 years ago
