I have a laptop that I connect to an Exchange 5.5 Server to retrieve email & I use offline folders on the laptop to keep my folders in sync. I connected a desktop to the exchange server (without using offline folders on the desktop) and wanted to retrieve my email. But when I did, all the email entries were deleted off the server, when it downloaded them to the desktop, which in turn deleted them off my laptop. In the help for Outlook 2002 (which both the laptop & desktop) are using, it saysthat when using 2 different PC to access your email, the email will be deleted off server if you do not check the leave on server box on the client PC. I cannot find this box anywhere. Is this the real problem or is it something else. I want the email to stay on the server at all times and have access to my email from both PC's.

Thank You

You version must be different then mine. I go to Tools/Email Accounts , I get View or change existing email accounts, click next, my Microsoft Exchange Server account is highlighted, (there is no properties tab) but there is a change tab, I click on that, it displays my Exchange Server Name & my user name, I only have 1 tab to click on and that is More Settings, I click that, there is an Advanced Tab but no box which display delivery.
