How to Configure Outlook 2002 to leave mail on the server

When you retrieve your e-mail, Outlook 2002 copies each message from our servers to your hard drive. By default, Outlook 2002 is configured to have all e-mail messages deleted from our mail server after being downloaded to your computer. However, you can configure Outlook 2002 to leave your e-mail on the server. Outlook 2002 then keeps track of which messages it has already retrieved. This feature will allow you to check your e-mail from work, while leaving it on the server for later retrieval at home. Outlook 2002 also allows you to select a time duration for leaving mail on the server. Setting a duration is important if you have all of your e-mail clients configured to leave mail on server.

1. Choose Email Accounts from the Tools menu. The Email Accounts window will open.

Edit email account settings.

2. Select View or change existing e-mail accounts and click Next.
3. Select the appropriate account and click the Properties button.
4. Click More settings.
5. and then select the Advanced tab. Check the box for Leave a copy of messages on server. It is recommended to check the box for Remove from server after 5 day(s) box.

You can increase or decrease the amount of days your mail is left on the server. If you have Outlook 2002 set to remove mail from the server after 5 days and do not check mail for 14 days, the mail will stay on the server until you download it to your hard drive.

Leave a copy of messages on the server.

6. Click OK.

Outlook 2002 is now configured to leave mail on the server.
