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?


Errrrr.... I think I am missing an important bit of information.

What type of mail server is it?

I mean, that behaviour makes perfect sense for an Exchange environment, as
well as an IMAP environment. Actually, it makes sense for a POP environment
too. The solution would just be different for all three types of servers.
