Hi,

I have Vista Business and I am trying to configure the windows mail to
access my website mails. I was successful in adding multiple accounts
using IMAP but however, I see the Trash, Sent, Drafts etc folders only
for one of the accounts added () and not for other
accounts like (
) etc. I want to store the sent mails, the drafts etc all on server
(as what IMAP is used for).

Help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

I no longer use OE/WM for email, and now use Outlook instead, so, from
memory-

...once you are in one of the IMAP folder, there should be a button in the
Toolbar called Folders or similar. If you press that you should get a
window that has your accounts on the side, and a list of folders that you
can tick to display.

Thanks for you response ss. I went to the panel you mentioned but it
does not show any folders under but does show for
. Is this something to do with server side settings?

Your account details might be wrong. Maybe you have the wrong port number
or authentication mode or something like that. I'd try deleting it the one
that doesn't work in Accounts and try inputting the details again.

Well I kind of found out the problem. There were no folders at all
under the account on my server. But this is strange. I
don't know why there are folders like Sent, Trash etc. under my
"default" mail account and also under info but not under any other
accounts that I created (for ex: support).

On finding out that no folders existed under my I tried
to create folders (Sent and Trash) and was successful! I could see
those folders on my server as well. However, sent mails don't get
stored in the Sent folder I created and nor the deleted go into Trash on
the server. Any idea how to do this? BTW, This does not happen with
the info account as well.

Thanks
