Mail - leave copy on server

[erding]

Hi all

Am just trying to set up mail under Leopard. Under Tiger there was an option to leave a copy of the mail on the server.

Can't see this option under Leopard - is this option available and if so where do I find it.

TIA

Is it a POP or IMAP account you are setting up?

POP

In Prefs->Accounts->Advanced. there is a check box that says
"Remove copy from server after retrieving message"

Brilliant - thanks very much for your help.

Why is it that the same feature isn't available for IMAP servers? I've had problems w/ Mail deleting all my emails (every now & then) from MobileMe.

Hello,

do you know how to leave UNSEEN copy of message on the server using mail.app?

When downloading messages to my inbox, mail.app marking them as "read" on the server, which I would like to avoid .....any advice?

Thanks!

What about IMAP in Yosemite?

I have the same question - how can I tell the Mail app to leave a copy of messages on the server in Yosemite? The option noted above for POP does not appear in this same window in Yosemite for IMAP accounts. Little help?
