I've discovered another 'gift' from COX. Since we are all now forced to use IMAP rather than COX, each time you delete an e-mail in webmail, that corresponding e-mail is automatically deleted in Outlook, you local e-mail client. There is no way to retain your downloaded e-mail on you local e-mail client unless you retain that e-mail in Cox Web Mail., This however creates another problem since each user has a limited amount of space on their web mail account. Here's the solution, although not a great solution....................Create another folder in your local e-mail navigating pane. For example "Inbox2" . Then, copy all of the downloaded e-mail from "inbox" to "Inbox2". After doing so, go to Webmail and delete all mail from your inbox Check your e-mail at your local client, that is Outlook. You will see that all of the e-mail formerly in Inbox is gone. BUT, the e-mail in "Inbox2" remains. Is this an elegant solution................NO.
That's how IMAP works. The server keeps the email until you delete if from the server. While an email remains on the server, each of your clients (Outlook, T-bird, Mailbird, etc) only download on the header information of the email for you to read. You can delete it from your client but it'll remain on the server...unless you opt a setting within your client to also delete it from the server.
