¿ªÔÆÌåÓýThis has nothing to do with Outlook options, the ¡°leave a copy on the server¡± checkbox is something you have in your mail account setup and then only if you use POP3 and nobody should be using POP3 any more. ? From: [email protected] <[email protected]>

On Behalf Of Jen via groups.io ? Tom, do you have "leave copy of messages on server" checked? If yes, uncheck that box, and you won't have to delete messages twice! "leave copy of messages on server" is under "advanced" in the option ribbon. ? On Saturday, May 17, 2025 at 03:55:43 PM EDT, Tom Behler via groups.io <tombehler@...> wrote: ? ? Jen: ?

On Behalf Of Jen via groups.io ? Hi Tom ? I'm confused. I use classic Outlook 2016, and I don't see a checkbox to delete messages from the server. There's a "leave a copy of messages on the server" checkbox under "advanced" though. I think you need to delete the messages you want to delete from the Gmail server first, then delete the same messages from Outlook. Then uncheck "leave copy of messages on server" |
