Keep mail on server

When you have outlook receive mail from your internet provider, Outlook Express will remove the mail from the server by default. To set Outlook Express to keep the mail on the server so you can access the mail from another location, do the following...

  1. Open Outlook Express
  2. Click on Tools
  3. Click on Accounts
  4. Highlight your email account
  5. Click on Properties
  6. Click on Advanced
  7. Put a check in Leave a copy of messages on server
  8. Click on Apply
  9. Click on OK

Now the email will stay on the server until you delete it or if you want it to delete after so many days then put a check in Remove from server after and choose the number of days you want it to stay on the server. If you have that box checked, it will keep it on the server that amount of time.
