MSG's Read/Deleted In Outlook Ex. Not Delted/Read In New SkyMail?

[Aletank]

I currently have a Hotmail account linked to my Outlook Express, If I read or delete a message in Outlook Express it will be read or deleted from my Hotmail account.
I've just been swopped over to my new SkyMail account and set up Outlook Express. Messages that I've read or deleted in Outlook Express are still unopened in my SkyMail - Is there a option to make this work like my hotmail ?

Go to the Mail Settings on Sky's portal and select the Forwarding & POP tab No. 2 When messages are accessed with POP select delete Sky's copy.

You can't make it delete once you have read it (yet) but you can make it delete once you download it into Outlook. Go onto sky webmail and click on Settings. Under POP & Forwarding you can set the action to perform once downloaded - choose delete to permanently remove them.

If I've opened it in Outlook Express and would like to keep it in Outlook Express, I would also like to keep it on the SkyMail site, Just because I've opened it in OE I don't want it deleting - Is this possible ?

No. Once Sky have implemented IMAP (assuming they follow gmail) then you could have what you want, but not at present.

If you go into your gmail account and change the default language from English (UK) to English (US) then it appears to add in a new option under POP & Forwarding (it changes to Forwarding POP/IMAP). Instructions are linked to from that page.

Thanks for that - Just gotta wait for Sky to go along the same lines - Wonder why its not available for English (UK) ?
