Changing settings so copies of emails not left on server? helpplease

[adam smith]

When setting up Windows Live Mail I must have checked the box to leave copies of emails on the server.  The mailbox is now full and my storage quota exceeded.

Can someone please tell me in non-techie language how to change this please?  I can't even find where the setup is located.

MY OS is Win7PRO.
Thanks,
adam

Hi Adam,

By going to "options" from the menu that drops down on your left, which is sitting above "email message", click options, email accounts, highlight your account, click properties, then the advanced tab.

Hi again,

I better add those are the instructions for Windows Live Mail on my Windows 7.  Don't think Windows Live Mail has been updated on my XP

Thank you KHP for your reply.Can you help me further please as I have not been able to deal with this yet.


When going into Windows Live Mail no such list appears on LHS of the screen. Along the top of the page is  only such things as New, Reply, Reply all etc , none of which relate to things beyond the email on the screen.


What should be  on the screen when this Options menu drops down?
 What did you open to get this please?


TIA, adam

Ok, go to Tools, drop down menu, click on Accounts, highlight the account, properties, then advanced tab.

Thank you KHP but I am on Win7PRO and the installation of Windows Live Mail is recent and doubtless the latest version.

When Win Live Mail opens it goes straight to Inbox or Outbox, depending how  it was left before hibernation and  NO such items  with dropdown menus as you list  are evident.

Maybe the question is how toget to the Windows Live Mail page where these menusare.

Thanks KHP,
Adam
