Setting up Outlook Express 5 to Leave Mail
on the Server
- Run Outlook Express.
- Click on the "Tools" menu, and pick "Accounts".
- Click the "Mail" tab. You should get a screen like the one
below.
- Click the "Properties" button, then the "Advanced"
tab. You should get a screen like the one below.
- Check the box to leave a copy of messages on server. Be SURE to also
check the box to Remove from server after 5 days. You can adjust the
number of days, of course.
- Also check the box to Remove from server when deleted from "Deleted
Items". This does not remove them when you delete from the IN
mailbox, but only when you delete from the Deleted Items mailbox. But
remember that it's possible to set Outlook Express to empty the Deleted
Items mailbox when you exit Outlook Express. To check this, Go to the
Tools menu and click Options. Click the Maintenance tab.
