Message: [QUOTE="VanguardLH, post: 4697517"] Unless configured otherwise, the default behavior of POP is to issue a RETR (retrieve) of a message followed by a DELE (delete) of that message. So a move is the default behavior. You will have to configure the e-mail account that you defined in Outlook under advanced properties to "leave messages on server". However, that also means the messages do not get deleted from your mailbox. If you don't delete messages, they remain to consume the disk quota for your account. Eventually you won't be able to receive any more incoming e-mails because you have used up all your disk allowance. So configure Outlook to also delete messages N days after they have been retrieved. Then you'll have that many days before Outlook will delete them from your mailbox. How many days is up to you. Could be a week or a month. If you leave them indefinitely up in your mailbox, you'll have to perform manual maintenance to clean out your e-mail account to prevent it going dead because it has no more disk space. NEVER use your Inbox as a holding folder for all your old e-mails. It is the heaviest used folder and corruption can result from having thousands of items stored there. Instead create a Hold or Save folder where you save your old e-mails. Leave the Inbox empty to retrieve just *new* e-mails but move them to elsewhere if you want to keep them around for a long time. There is nothing of Outlook that prevents you from continuing using the Yahoo webmail interface. [/QUOTE]
