normally POP3 is configured to delete received messages after some days/weeks and it is not smart to disable this becuase if you have your local mailarchive and get a new computer you will receive ALL your mails again
Well, receiving ALL mails again, might not be too handy, but 14 days is a quite short time. So can i change the pop3 settings so old emails are stored for e.g. 3 months instead of 14 days? And just curious, where can i disable the configuration that pop3 deletes received messages?
why not type in google "<name of your mailclient> POP3 settings"
these are all questions that NOBODY can answer for you maybe the admin of your mailserver can, hopefully you are not
Well I am the admin for now, but when business gets more successful i might hire someone who can set up the email server the right way; someone who knows what he is doing. But for now, as long as everything works its good
it is a serious problem if people which even can not handle a mail-client maintain critical things like public mailservers because the critical is not only your problem, it becomes very fast a problem for ANYBODY which maintains a proper mailservice and has to fight against you spam caused by wrong configurations (open-relay)
