Couple of Q's setting up webmail

Crypto · 26-06-2004, 11:38

Hi folks,

I've just set up a webmail account so that I can view my emails whilst on holiday. I've set up the account to leave emails on the server, but once they're downloaded and viewed, they disappear forever.

I can't seem to find an option to keep them once read.

Second problem. I'm running Mozilla as my email client and web browser and Windows XP. Whenever I open the NTL home page a box pops up asking me which email account I want to open and once accepted fills in my password automatically.

How can I stop that box coming up every time I open the NTL homepage? There is an option under Edit/fill in form to disable autofill, but each time the homepage loads it re-enables the autofill.

Any clues please?

Cheers

Thanks paulyoung666, but I have enabled that in POP server options.

That part does work, because I'm able to retrieve messages using my "usual" email client, even after I've read them via webmail.
Just can't read them again or store them on webmail.

Cheers

Create a new folder on webmail and move the emails in there.

In Mozilla, go to Tools > Password Manager > Manage Stored Passwords.
Find the one for ntlworld.com and remove it.
Next time you visit the site and fill in the info, select "never save passwords for this site".

Thanks Richard M, that tip worked a treat.

I've set up a folder as Web Junkie's suggestion and it's all system go.

Cheers Folks
