Outlook Express 6 - Leave Messages On Server Glitch

For some unknown reason, my OE6 'forgets' to Leave Messages On Server
about once a month or so.

I have not scientifically analyzed just when it happens, but the check
box under Tools/Advanced somehow unchecks itself (!) periodically.

Is this a known fault, or is there a workaround to keep it from
happening, if anyone knows?

This newsgroup is for support of Outlook 97, 98, 2000 & 2002 from the Office
family for Windows PCs. For Outlook Express (OE) support try posting in one
of
these newsgroups:
microsoft.public.inetexplorer.ie4.outlookexpress for OE 4.x
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie5.outlookexpress for OE 5.x
http://support.microsoft.com/newsgr...blic.windows.inetexplorer.ie55.outlookexpress
for OE 5.5x
http://support.microsoft.com/newsgr...ublic.windows.inetexplorer.ie6_outlookexpress
for OE 6.x
http://support.microsoft.com/newsgr...;newsgroupsmicrosoft.public.internet.mail.mac
for the Macintosh version of OE
http://support.microsoft.com/newsgr...ess.mac&SLCID=US&sd=GN&id=fh;en-us;newsgroups

If those groups aren't carried on the news server that's carrying this group
try using msnews.microsoft.com (MS's public news server that's the source
for all the microsoft.public newsgroups). The links under the newsgroup
references are for use with MS's web newsreader (not exactly the best way to
post but it works for some people)

Also a good source of Outlook Express info can be found here:

No it's not, it's for OUTLOOK, part of the OFFICE suite.
Outlook EXPRESS (OE) is part of Internet Explorer and is a completely
different program, despite the similar names.

You might try creating a new identity, and when you are convinced all is
well, use file>import to get your mail into the new ID before deleting
the old ID.
I don't leave mail on the server, so can't comment whether it
"automatically" can change for some users.

Then the newsgroup I know and love and am a regular poster on seems to
have changed it's name in the last hour or two, according to both you
and Milly!
(I just noticed that the OP crossposted, as you and Milly have, and I am
indeed only picking up the OE posts, which is why we are at cross
purposes!)

Ahhh - didn't see the crosspost!
 
Look at how the OP cross posted to both newsgroups.
