John We use an ISP so I don't know how Exchange works on internal servers but here's our scenario. Email left on the server is still a new message. Outlook looks for new messages each time it's started. So each time it's started if the messages are still on the server it will pick up whatever is sitting there until the selected wait time (3 days in your case) has passed. I use 2 addresses - if I get something that should be kept I forward it to the 2nd address. Everything else gets deleted from the server when it's downloaded the first time. My main computer is then set to delete everything from the server for both addresses when Outlook is running on it. In this case it's important for Outlook to be closed on the main computer when I'm away from my desk unless I don't want the messages to show up when I log on from a different location. I remember it being the same in 2K.

I pick up my email on many different computers. As a result I tell each copy of Outlook to leave the messages on the server for 3 days. For some reason OutlookXP keeps picking up the messages over and over. Its damned annoying to have to go back and delete the old messages. Does anyone know if this is a new "feature" in XP? I never saw this in 2K. Is it configurable, can I tell Outlook to knock it off? John W.
