Could be POP, IMAP, Exchange, or HTTP/Deltasync. Each has a different set of behaviors hence why they exist. The default behavior of POP access is to retrieve (RETR) a message followed by deleting (DELE) it. That is, your POP e-mail client will issue a RETR command followed by a DELE command. After you retrieve an item, it won't be in your mailbox anymore. You need to change the default POP behavior in your e-mail client. In the e-mail account that you define in Outlook, configure it to "leave messages on server". That eliminates the DELE command after doing a RETR. Your e-mail client keeps track of what are new and old items. Actually it only tracks what are the old items (by their Message-ID) and any other items found in your mailbox are considered new and get retrieved whereupon they become tracked and old items. Because you are now leaving all messages in your mailbox, eventually your mailbox will fill up with old messages that you left there. After consuming all the disk quota for your account, no more new e-mails can be received because there is no more disk space to store them. You will have clean out your mailbox to free up some disk space. You can either do the cleanup by using the webmail interface to your e-mail account and manually perform the cleanup by deleting items (and possibly purging the Deleted folder if your provider includes those items in your disk quota) or you can enable the "delete items N days after received" option in Outlook to have it periodically clean out the old items. If you set this option to, say, 30 days then you have a month of old items that can be seen as new items by a different e-mail client and retrieve them there. Obviously you have to enable the "leave messages on server" for EVERY e-mail client that access that same e-mail account. If any one of them do not have this option enabled, it will do the RETR followed by a DELE which means those items that it retrieved won't be there anymore for any other e-mail client to find. The same for the "delete N days after received" option which should be enabled in every e-mail client you use to access the same mailbox (and the cleanup period should also be the same value in each e-mail client).

From: Milly Staples [MVP - Outlook] on 3 May 2010 10:37 On the advanced tab of your Outlook Account properties, check the box to leave a copy on the server. You can also set other options for if/when you want items deleted from the server. -- Milly Staples [MVP - Outlook] Post all replies to the group to keep the discussion intact.
