I have two Windows 7 computers using WLM so I leave messages read on the server so that I can read them on both computers. On both computers I have a set of storage folders to move messages I want to keep - they are not the same on each computer as I use them for different projects. I delete messages I do not need from time to time. On the laptop computer if I delete all Inbox messages I find that the next time I ask for new messages WLM starts to reread/download all the messages on the server - several thousand. On the desktop computer this does not happen. Why should this be?
I do not wish to delete all messages on the server as one expert suggested as a way to stop rereading. It may help if someone can tell me how WLM remembers where it was when it last read messages and only read new messages. Is there a pointer of some kind held on my computer? Or does it do it some other way? I can find nothing on the internet that answers this question.
