With Outlook Express I can have email remain on my ISP's server until I delete it from the deleted folder. This is done with a simple check on the accounts/properties/ advanced tab. How do I get outlook 2000 to do this? I only seem to be able to remove everything or keep everything.

Tools menu | Options | Other tab | General section -- Uncheck the box next to "Empty the Deleted Items folder upon exiting." With this box unchecked, the only way the Deleted Items folder will get emptied is when you choose "Empty "Deleted Items" folder" on the Tools menu, or go into the Deleted Items folder and delete specific items.

The problem is not in deleting mail from outlook the problem is deleted mail is not being removed for the server when outlook is marked to leave a copy on the server.
