How do you change the settings on Firefox so that the email does not delete on closing ? I have searched and apparently I am not looking in the correct place. Thanks.

I installed MS Office 2007 so I could take some classes in Access and Outlook for a job. Outlook would not work correctly until I figured out what password it was asking for. Since I did that 2 days ago, the email in my inbox in Firefox/Yahoo deletes the email when I close it or when it sits unused for several hours. It appears the email is going to Outlook as well but they are not being deleted on close.

Firefox doesn't do email, it's a web browser.

If you are using Firefox to access your email, you are using "web-mail". You need to seek support from your service provider or a forum for that service.
