live.com and Outlook Connector issues

C

Codeman

I opened a live.com email account and it installed Outlook Connector to my
Outlook to download my live.com emails. The problem I am having is my emails
in the live.com folder are getting deleted.

Here is what I do. I go online to the live.com email account. Look over
and delete emails I do not want to download to my Outlook program. Then I
download to my Outlook and when if it finished I then usually delete the
emails on the live.com account since they are now duplicates of what was
downloaded to Outlook. I then get offline and review my downloaded emails in
Outlook. I then may delete some more emails and keep some. The next day
when I go online and repeat the procedure the emails that I wanted to keep in
Outlook but were deleted from the live.com account get deleted when I go to
live.com. It seems that if they were deleted from live.com then the program
thinks they are to be removed from my Outlook also.

The only way I have been able to stop this is to make a separate folder
other than the inbox folder and move the emails to the other folder.

I do not have the problem with my att.net email account.

Is there another setting that I am missing that I need to do? Live.com
keeps passing the buck to Outlook.

I will add that the live.com email does not have a pop3 setup from what I
can tell. I think it is an IMAP.

Does anyone have a solution other than making a folder and moving the emails?

This is a question best suited for the Outlook newsgroup (this is the
InfoPath newsgroup).

However -- If you are using Outlook Connector you should not be getting the
delete issue you refer to. If you simply setup an HTML account in Outlook it
will delete unless you specify in the account settings to leave the emails
on the remote server. You will also get less functionality this way than
using Outlook Connector.
