Setting up roaming email
Overview
Sometimes after checking your email from another computer you might find all the email is gone. This is because when you download email to any computer it removes the email from iiNet's servers.
To resolve this, and have 'roaming' email as such you need to leave a copy of the emails on the server. Please note, iiNet maintains a 50MB soft limit on mailboxes. If you have more than 50MB of email in an inbox you may be subjected to deletion of old messages.
