Leave Copy on Server

Leaving a copy on the email server is not always a good idea since unless you are in a good habit of deleting those emails, they will accumulate and take up more and more disk space room.  By default, this box should be unchecked in your email client.

To check in Outlook 2007:

1. Open your email program and click "Tools" at the top then "Account Settings"
2. In the next window that appears, highlight your email account, then click "Change"
3. The "change email account" window appears and you will notice a button labeled "More Setttings"
4. At the top of the next window, choose the "Advanced" tab.
5.  Under the "Advanced" tab, at the bottom of the window, see "leave a copy of messages on the server".  Unless you have a specific reason, this box should remain UNCHECKED.
