Frustrated

I've spent the entire day trying to set up Outlook 2003
so that when messages are downloaded from my MSN account,
they come off the server. In my Outlook 03, using HTTP,
there is no box to leave unchecked which says "leave
messages on server." As it stands now, if I delete a
message from my Outlook, it disappears from my MSN and vice
versa. I just want them on my Outlook and not MSN.

Thanks for any help
 
You can't do this natively. MSN is a HTTP server so you read them on-line.
All Outlook does is creating an off-line cache of the messages. Hotmail
Popper is a tool often used to get the messages of the server and into a
locally stored file. I don't know whether this tool also works for MSN
accounts.
