How do I set Outlook to keep or not keep a copy of email on the server?
Outlook has not made this easy to find. Even when you try their Help it is difficult to uncover where to change this setting. Follow the instructions below for Outlook 2003.
1. In Outlook click Tools and Email Accounts
2. Make sure View or Change existing e-mail accounts is selected and click Next
3. Select the account you want and click Change (some people have more than one setup in Outlook)
4. Click the More Settings (bottom right)
5. Click the Advanced tab
6. Click the Delivery option check box (bottom) to leave a copy on the server and set the number of days or uncheck the box to Not keep a copy on the server.
7. Click OK, then Next and Finish. You’re done.
