How do I prevent Outlook from deleting my online inbox messages?

[Guest]

I know there is a check-box for this somewhere...

Outlook automatically deletes my inbox messages from my email server when
downloading them. I need to have these remain because I use multiple
computers and cannot have the only copy on my hard drive.

I fixed this once before with a simple check option but can't find it!!

If you post your version you will get an answer. Right now, there are several methods but they all end up on the advanced tab of your email account properties - check the box to leave a copy on the server.

unsolicited mail sent to my personal account will be deleted without
