Note: By disabling the Leave a copy of each message on the server option, your e-mail client will automatically download your Inbox e-mail messages to your local computer. We recommend you leave this option disabled to prevent old e-mail messages from taking up your hosting account's limited disk space, thereby reducing the chance that your account will experience an overage.
