Dear Sir,

My Outlook 2002 has been configured to retrieve email via MS Exchange protocol. Unlike POP3, I can choose NOT to leave a copy of my email on the server. But we prefer MS Exchange protocol because we can enjoy more features out of it. So, how do we go about removing those emails from server after a success receiving?

Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Antonio
 
Use a PST file and have it delivered to the PST file, but you take this action on your own, its not a very good way of running things

the purpose of using an exchange mailbox is to have the email stored on the
server. if you insist on storing it locally, set your delivery location to a
personal folder. Tools, accounts, change accounts - at the bottom of the
accounts dialog.

Antonio - as others have written, you'd have to use a PST file. Most admins
prefer that users not use PST files, as they are difficult to support, and
you lose centralization (and backup/restore) when you do so. It may be
against your company's policy to use PST files - it is in most places I
work.

What would be the advantage of not using the Exchange mailbox for storage?
There are plenty of disadvantages to using PST files.
