However, AFTER downloading all that mail, it dawned on me that my online Inbox is empty, because Outlook deleted all those messages after downloading them.  I forgot the POP3 email setting to Leave Messages OnThe Server, so the email client would only COPY the messages, but leave them online so I can read them from multiple computers.  I like to read my Yahoo email and Gmail from work, from home, laptop at Starbucks, or where ever I am.  Don’t you?

Here’s the steps I took to find and change the setting to Leave Messages On Server:
