Entourage deletes email from exchange server

[dstarling]

Version: 2008
Operating System: Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard)
Processor: intel
Email Client: Exchange

When I sync my emails with the exchange server, they disappear and go into the inbox folder on my local mac drive. How can i get them to stay on the exchange server?

Check the rules and the mailing list manager. I bet one of them is
moving e-mails to a folder "on my computer"

Thanks Corentin. It was indeed the mailing list manager. I'm totally new to the mac experience and little things like this are aggravating. I changed the mailing list manager rule to move to the inbox on exchange. I see that there is a way to apply rules, is there a way to apply the mailing list manager rule? Thanks in advance for your help.

Office 2004 had a nasty habit to mess these rules up whenever you were
reconstructing the database,

They are separate but similar.

I've tried posting this as a new message, but it doesn't seem to get through. Since it's a similar question, I'll try here:

Entourage automatically trashes meeting requests as soon as I accept them.
I don't want them trashed until I want them to be. How can I change this?

I'm not sure you can. Once they are accepted and in your calendar,
Entourage removes them from the inbox.

That wasn't the case on Entourage 2004. Was this a specific requested change/ They should at least provide an option to how the user prefers to deal with the issue.

The biggest problem I see is that, with automatic acceptance of meeting requests, the user may never realize that they actually had a particular meeting. I rarely check my weekly calendar unless I know I have something coming up.

If you refuse to check your calendar, do not blame the software! ;-)

Actually, in my case I see the "mail" in which the invite came, in the
trash.....

Knowing this you could accept and grab the message from the trash (deleted
items) I tried to build a rule but could not because I had no invite to
build it from. Perhaps create a rule that if a message contains
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Move it back to the inbox?

I don't refuse to check my calendar. But my mail is my top window, and I don't constantly check the calendar. I have do actual work to do.

I do move the request back to my In Box. But, the software is supposed to make things more efficient, not the opposite. I shouldn't have to go through those steps. As I said, Entourage 2004 didn't throw the meeting request away. Why the change? And, if there were requests that the meetings be trashed, it should have been made a selectable option.
