How do I keep Outlook 2007 from deleting messages off the server?

Question

i am new to the whole 2007 version of things and on the version i was using before i could keep outlook from deleting messages off the server (in my case this would be charter.net) and in 2007 i cant find that option... and the help and support thing doesn't want to help...

Answer 1

well if its deleting them of the server you must be using POP3 to get your email so this is what you need to do. go to control panel then click the mail icon select e-mail accounts and select yours and click change. click more settings then on the last tab where its asking about ports for incoming and outgoing mail you should see a little box that says next to it "keep a copy on server" check that box and it will keep a copy. then if you want you can set a time limit before it will delete or just leave it and it will never delete unless you delete the message

Outlook 2007

Open Outlook.

From the Tools menu, select Account Settings.  The Account Settings box appears.

Your email account appears, usually labeled imail.infront.com.

Click on your imail.infront.com email account to highlight it, then click the Change button. The Internet Email Settings appear.

Click the button More Settings... in the lower right-hand corner.  The Internet Email Settings box appears.

Click the Advanced tab.

Under the Delivery section: Clear the check box Leave a copy of messages on the server if you do not need to save mail on the server. If you would like to leave messages on the server, please check the box Remove from server after, and click the arrows to specify the number of days or weeks emails should be saved. Never save email on the server for more than 7 days.

Click OK, then click Next, and then click Finish.  Click Close to return to the email program.
