Leaving Messages On Server...

by rfheisen Jun 1, 2007 10:36PM PDT

In Microsoft Office Outlook 2003, I seem to recall a box one could click on that would leave your messages on your ISP's server so one could (at a later time) re-download their mail into their main computer's email aaplication. I'm now using Outlook 2007, I can't seem to find the "page" where you could click on this setting. Might anyone know if "leaving messages on server" can still be chosen, and if so, how would I do it? Many thanks in advance.

Leaving a Copy on the Server

Click Tools, Options, Mail Setup Tab. Click E-mail Accounts, View or Change Existing E-mail Accounts, and click next. Select the account to configure and click change. On the Internet E-mail settings page click More Settings. Now click the Advanced Tab and you'll see the configuration options.

It's funny, but I was talking to a MS Office Tech Rep about a month ago about another issue. As an aside, I asked him if he knew how to accomplish this. He told me he thought it still could be done in Outlook 2007 but he couldn't tell me how. So much for Tech Support. You, however, have been a great, great help and I'd like to thank you very, very much. All best wishes...
