SUMMARY
=======
When you receive an e-mail message using your MSN account, the message is stored
on MSN servers for a specific amount of time, depending on whether you have Post
Office Protocol (POP3) e-mail or Web-based e-mail (HTTP).
MORE INFORMATION
================
If you receive POP3 e-mail via your MSN Internet Access e-mail account, then
when a POP3 e-mail message is sent to your e-mail address, the message is stored
on the MSN server until one of the following conditions is met:
- You log in to your MSN e-mail account. When you log in to your MSN e-mail
account, messages on the server are forwarded to and stored on your computer.
- 30 days have passed since the e-mail message was received by the MSN server.
When an e-mail message has been stored on the server for over 30 days, the
message is deleted to free disk space and improve performance.
Note: If you use MSN version 5.6 or earlier, you are using POP3 e-mail. If you
receive your e-mail in MSN Explorer, your MSN Internet Access e-mail is
Web-based.
If you have Web-based e-mail, messages may be deleted by MSN from your account
for the following reason:
- You exceeded the size limit for your e-mail account. MSN Internet Access
subscribers have a 10 MB size limit for e-mail accounts.
Note: MSN Explorer users who use Internet Service providers (ISPs) other than MSN
Internet Access have a 2MB size limit for the e-mail accounts they access with
MSN Explorer.
