Deleted user account still downloading emails

[quote user="Kim"]

I had several identities set up on Pegasus, but then decided to download work emails on a different PC.

 

I duly set up the new account on the new PC, and deleted it from the old one - except emails are still being received on the old machine.  How do I stop this?  It tells me the account still exists, but it does not appear on the list of identities, or in the network configuration menus.

 

Many thanks

Steffan's solution is perfect. But what might caused the messages still to be downloaded is that the pop3 definition can have been in use by multiple identities (shared). So perhaps you had the definition added to the <default> identity as well.

If you have Pegasus set up the way you describe, it's a bit odd that it should keep downloading emails. However, you could try the following: go to Tools, Internet options, Receiving, where you'll find a list of pop hosts. To really delete any of them, go to 'Add' (yep, sounds strange, but do it anyway :-)) After you've done that, you'll see a list of available 'Pop3 definitions'. If you delete the definition for the 'old account' you're talking about, I think Pegasus will stop checking the pop server associated with that account. Hope this helps.

Cheers,
Steffan
