<This makes perfect sense, and when i go to tools>options, maintenance, the
5
day option is not selected, but they are getting deleted anyway. maybe i
just need to trash outlook express ?>
This is a very good question because I, too, did not have that option
selected. However, even though I download the messages they disappear after
7 days. I don't understand this - I can understand if you are reading them
online using Outlook Express - but if you actually download them (to your
computer I presume) why do they disappear after 7 days. It must have
something to do with the server. DonnaB
