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.

f.h.

Its a POP3 server.
