Changing the Windows Live Mail settings
To leave messages on the server, you will:

1. Start Windows Live Mail.
Start the Windows Live Mail program from your Start menu.
2. Open the “Accounts” window.
In Windows Live Mail, click on Menu, Options, then Email accounts on the Toolbar.
3. Open the account “Properties” window
Highlight your address@example.com account and click Properties.
4. Set the advanced properties.

Windows Live Mail configuration is complete
You're finished! From now on, any mail that arrives should stay on the server, and you should be able to see it in your other mail program or Webmail. (If you're using another mail program, you'll probably want to setup that program to leave a copy of your messages on the server, too.)
