I'm sure I've seen an option to (not) leave my email on the server, but now
that I'm looking for it, it's nowhere to be found. It's my understanding
that leaving stuff "out there" makes synchronization necessary, and it also
clogs up sending/receiving (stop me when I go wrong here). We don't need to
access our mail folders from other computers, so having said that, I think I
could streamline our operation here by "moving" rather than "copying" stuff
from the remote folders, especially since there is a lack of discipline here
regarding moving mail to local folders, despite the advantage of
categorization.

Am I making any sense? Is this a good or a bad idea? I'd appreciate your
opinions.

If you are using the connector to sync the live folders, it creates a copy
of the folders on your local drive. This allows you to view your mail from
anyway, even several different computers. There is no option to delete from
the server when you use the connector.

If you want to delete it from the server you need to switch to POP3.
Incoming server name: pop3.live.com
Outgoing server: smtp.live.com

While setting up the account, click on the More Settings button and on
Outgoing Mail Servers tab, select the My server requires authentication box.
Most people will need to use the default option of Use same settings as my
incoming server.

Click the Advanced tab, and under Server Port Numbers, enter the following
information:
� In the Incoming mail (POP3) box, type 995.
� In the Outgoing mail (SMTP) box, type 587.
� Under both Outgoing mail (SMTP) and Incoming mail (POP3), select the
'requires secure connection (SSL)' check box. In Outlook 2007, choose Auto;
use SSL for Outlook 2003
� Under Delivery, select the Leave a copy of messages on server check box if
you want to see your messages when you use Hotmail in a web browser, your
mobile phone, or other e-mail programs. By default, Outlook will delete the
messages from the Hotmail server when they are downloaded to your computer.
