I have Outlook 2003 and Outlook 2007 on different PCs, but they both have a
behavior that I find baffling.

I have to keep some files on the mail server to be able to access them
from work and home, but to keep the mail server from filling up, I thought
I'd make sub folders on my desktops and place messages I want to keep in
them.

I'd like to make that more clear.... The sub folders that I made are under
the Inbox in Outlook...not out somewhere on my desktops.

When I move emails from the Inbox to a sub folder, I'd like them gone from
the server. Otherwise, how will I keep my emails handy and still not fill
up my email server?
