Summary

When you access your Ecenica Hosting POP Email Account using multiple devices emails may only appear on the first device that receives them. This happens when an email app is configured to automatically remove email from the mail server once the messages have been received. This is often the default setting. Using this article you can configure your email clients to leave a copy of the messages on the mail server so you can read your emails on multiple devices.
