Keeping Messages on Server - Outlook 2013

50Twuncle

I am trying to set up my Office 2013 / Outlook to "keep my emails on the server" - to allow me to receive the same messages on multiple devices - but can't see the option on the program
I am using POP !!

I have googled it and it implies that I am looking for INTERNET SETTINGS under Add New Account
I can't believe that this can only be set up during a new account set up
Any help welcome....

According to this page (http://office.microsoft.com/en-gb/support/set-up-your-office-365-or-other-exchange-based-email-in-outlook-2010-or-outlook-2013-HA102823161.aspx) it seems to be possible. More Settings - Internet Email Settings - Advanced - Delivery. I don't have Outlook 2013 on something I can check though.

ETA: Or use IMAP instead of POP3, if your server supports it.

Thanks - found it (it was well hidden)
I prefer POP due to having 4 devices with which I connect and receive emails - two of them being mobile (and I don't want (or need) to receive "copies" of all my sent emails on them - which would happen if I used IMAP !

IMAP is far better for multiple devices than POP

plus, you dont get copies of the mails on each devices, the mails stay on the server and you just download the headers.

you dont have to include any sent mails if you dont want to, and can just check the inbox with IMAP
