Hey i know this is kinda a noob question, but is there a way to import the email from your email account, but still keep it on the email server. In other words just copy your email from att to your computer, rather than importing from the att server to your comp, then deleting off the internet. this is so i can keep my mail on my comp and on att's serverthanks
 
Of course. That's a checkbox in each individual account setup.

Should be something along the lines of "leave mail on server". I believe there is also a check mark below this, that will allow you to delete mail off the server after X days. If you plan on leaving mail on the server, you may want to look into that, as you do not want your mailbox to fill up on the server, and start bouncing mail.
 
thanks I'll try that. I end up checking the mail on the server anyways, so it won't get full. I just like to keep my mail on the server, so I can check it if I'm away from my computer.
