Leaving a Copy of E-mails in Blazenet
Microsoft Outlook Express's default behavior is to download e-mails from Blazenet and then delete them from Blazenet. Thus, it is important to perform the following configuration steps prior to checking your e-mail with Outlook Express if you will need to check your e-mail through Blazenet or through Outlook Express at a different location. Step 1:Open Microsoft Outlook Express.
Step 2:Click on the Tools menu. Then, click Accounts.
Step 3:Click the name of the e-mail account you wish to modify. Then, click the Properties button.
Step 4:Click on the Advanced tab. Place a check in the boxes in front of Leave a copy of messages on the server and Remove from server after. Then, change the number of days to 10. Finally, click the OK button. Note: The number of days you set will determine the number of days e-mails remain in Blazenet after you are checked them in Outlook Express. You can adjust this number if you need to. If you wish for them to remain indefinitely, do not check the box in front of Remove from server after. However, we do not recommend doing so, as you are more bound to surpass the 250 megabyte account limit this way.
Step 5:Click the Close button.
Congratulations! You have successfully configured Outlook Express to leave your e-mails in Blazenet! If you have problems when trying these instructions, or if you have other question concerning your VSU e-mail account, please contact the Information Technology Helpdesk at 229-245-4357 or send an e-mail to helpdesk@valdosta.edu.
