Keep messages on the server (don't delete them)

[John Smith]

To make long story short: I'm looking for an option in Outlook 2003, which
leaves messages on the server (doesn't delete them) for 7 days.

Long story: I'm using Outlook 2003. I had a case when my mailbox reached its
limit and I set an option in Outlook to delete messages on the server when
it downloads them. Now, I'm using corporate Outlook web access to access my
inbox from Internet. The problem is that I can't see any messages there,
because Outlook on my PC downloads them and deletes them. How can I tell
Outlook to leave messages on the server for 7 days? I'm an expirienced
software developer and the fact that I can not find such option in Outlook
says enough about Outlook usability problems (very low grade!).

Hi John
As you are working with an exchange account, make shure the mails are
delivered to the echange account instead of a PST-Folder:
Tools>E-mail Accounts...>View or change existing accounts>Deliver new e-mail
to the following location: "Here you should see you exchange account"

Those instructions only lead me to one of many Outlook settings pages, they
don't say what to do then.

I am using PST file, but I would like to leave my messages in the Exchange
for 7 days after they were downloaded. Is that possible?
