Read Internet Email in Outlook & Leave Messages on Server
I finally got around to using Outlook2007 from my Office2007 installation. It was pretty easy to setup to download my POP3 email from Yahoo. It took a few hours to get all my mail, there were 16,000 messages in my Yahoo Inbox! It will take weeks to sort through all this mail, but that’s OK because I wanted to get back into the habit of using Outlook, since it’s on my resume. If you say you use it, then you should really use it, right?
However, AFTER downloading all that mail, it dawned on me that my online Inbox is empty, because Outlook deleted all those messages after downloading them. I forgot the POP3 email setting to Leave Messages OnThe Server, so the email client would only COPY the messages, but leave them online so I can read them from multiple computers. I like to read my Yahoo email and Gmail from work, from home, laptop at Starbucks, or where ever I am. Don’t you?
Here’s the steps I took to find and change the setting to Leave Messages On Server:
