Not receiving blog by email? One solution

I thought this might be helpful to anyone trying to post by email.

I set up an account and followed all the instructions, but no email ever showed up at mydomain/wp-mail.php. I had set up the account in Outlook to make sure it was working and email would arrive as expected.

However, I realized I had made one stupid mistake. When the email was downloaded to Outlook, it was deleted from the server, so there was no email to go to my blog. I’m sure this is true for other email clients and the settings might be different, but if you are using Outlook and have added your blog email account…do this:

Tools>Email Accounts
Choose the account and click Change
Click More Settings…
On the Advanced tab enable the checkbox by Leave a copy of messages on the server.
Set the number of days to anything you are comfortable with and click
OK>Next>Finish

This was a simple thing and I feel stupid for not catching it earlier. I hope this helps someone else save some time. Right now I have a headache from beating my head against the wall.
