I used the automatic configuration in eM Client to set up my Hotmail.com account. Messages are downloaded from the server but remain on the server. I wish to clear downloaded messages from the server but in eM Client tools there doesn’t appear to be a setting to do that. It seems like the account was set up for IMAP. What can I do to have downloaded mail removed from the server by eM Client?
Hi,
IMAP will always synchronize with the server, so you cannot delete the messages from the server and keep them in your computer at the same time.
You could either always move your messages to Local folders (which would sync back to the server and delete the messages there) or set up your account manually as a POP account (in Tools>Accounts>New Account>Mail>Other and choose POP3 protocol).
