    AOL and Outlook Express combined
    I am using Vist:confused:a, and I prefer my AOL as my email account.. but, somehow each email that I receive through AOL is deleted then appears in the Outlook Express email.. I am not signed up for Outlook, so the emails that are there, I can not forward or reply. How do I change the way that Outlook is "stealing" my AOL emails?? :confused:

    AOL mail can be retrieved one of three ways. Either through the AOL client software, through their WEB site, or using an e-mail client (like OE).

    For your mails to be appearing in OE, it means you have setup OE to poll your AOL mailbox. It also means that you have it set up to remove mails once OE has retrieved them. Go into your Accounts in OE and check the settings for your AOL account. There is a setting to leave mail on the server that you want to make sure is checked.

    Whoops, good catch. But the same thing goes for Windows Mail.
