The best thing about Outlook is that you can add various email accounts and even manage them with ease. It supports all services like Gmail, Comcast, and Gmail. Here, I will tell you how to set up Comcast pop3 settings on outlook 2007.
If the email is set up as a POP3 account, then you can have an outlook to save an email copy in the Comcast webmail before downloading it into outlook. You can click on this link to set up outlook to get a copy of the email on the server.
If you get new messages from a POP3account by default, the messages will be deleted from the POP3 server and then will be saved on the desktop. As you will not find the message on the POP3 server, you will not see it when you connect it from another desktop.
By making changes in the settings, you can select if the messages are removed once they’re saved.
- While connecting to the POP3server from the computer, the emails are saved to Outlook.
- If you connect from another desktop, the emails are saved to Outlook.
- If you are connecting from your third desktop, the emails are saved to Outlook and are removed from the server. A command will be sent from Outlook to POP3 server telling it to remove saved messages. Later on, the emails from the POP3 mail server will not be saved on the computer.
There is no way in Outlook to send emails to the webmail if the account is a POP3 account. You may try contacting ISP to check if the email is set up as an IMAP account. You can set up the email as IMAP in outlook and by dragging and dropping the emails in IMAP inbox which later on synchronizes the email with server.
