I check my email on my desktop at work, on my iphone and now on my laptop. The guy from IT at work configured my notebook because he installed office for me. Now my laptop deletes all the messages from the server as well as on any other machine that is set up to receive mail from that server (my desktop and iphone). I tried following the usual steps of disabling that option but couldn't find it!![]()
This is what I did:
- Opened Outlook.
- From the Tools menu, I selected Email Accounts.
- Chose my email account.
- Clicked the Change button on the right.
- Clicked the button "More Settings"
- Clicked the Advanced tab.
- This is where I expected to find the option of "leave a copy on the server".
This is what I got:

Where did I go wrong, please help!

for email accounts, make sure that it is set to use "mailbox-your mailbox name "and not a personal folder for delivery location. That will leave all the emails on the server.

MYK-the picture you posted is for Exchange-not your personal email, you need to be using a personal e-mail account like goofball said, to see the option to leave on server in the advanced tab. When you access an Exchange Server e-mail account, your messages are saved on the e-mail server until you delete them. Check this out http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/outlook/HA011507931033.aspx
