Do you know of this problem (Windows XP)
In outlook express, my emails (using an IMAP
server) get deleted randomly. When I click
on a header - once in a while, as soon as
I click - before even I get a chance to read
the contents pane - the email gets deleted
from the server! Not sure if this is an IMAP
server problem or outlook express one - if latter
do you have a solution?
Many thanx!

    I'm not sure about express but in outlook there is an option to delete mail you have already sent ... to essentially Un-send it ... and if the reciepient is using outlook the message will pop up and quickly disappear as soon as outlook gets the message to kill it.

    That's something I haven't heard of and if I had to guess (and I think I do), I'd say it's something at your end, rather than with the server.

    Experiment with Outlook Express until you can detect a pattern. For instance, turn the preview pane on if it's off (or vice versa).

    Also check Options to see the delete from server settings and change it so mail isn't deleted for three days--and see if your problem changes.

    All the best,
