going away

I am going away for 5 wks and WILL be checking my cox email on the web daily and on my mobile devices as well

I want to know how to prevent getting "a million" emails upon my return, when I reboot my iMac desktop and all the email since my departure loads into the mail program I use here at home.

There must be something I can do . Thank you.

The forum moderators told me that I could set my account to "leave emails on the server" when I delete them on the phone.  If you don't select "leave on server", the webmail will be gone once you delete them on the phone.  The only problem is that I couldn't find the Setting which said "leave a copy on the server". I could not find it on my iMac or on the Cox site.  I think the default setting is to remove them from your iMac webmail.  Test it today and see if that is true.

If you use IMAP settings, deleting an email viewed on a mobile device should delete the email from the Webmail server, and prevent the email from downloading to your iMac once you return home. -Becky, Cox Support Forums Moderator
