Locked Re: Re-sending: Cleaning Out E-mail Folders
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýI still use POP3. Let¡¯s say I go out of town for a week. I access my E-mails on my iPhone. I use POP3 On both my iPhone and my PC. I use Microsoft 365. When accessing E-mail on my phone, I am set up to leave a copy on the server. Sometimes, I encounter messages with which I need to follow up on my PC and I don¡¯t want to keep them on my iPhone wile I am away. I am set up to delete messages from the server after I pull them up on my PC. If I still want to save them? it is easy enough to put them in folders I have created. ?

It is good enough for me, although depending on mail usage, it may not be for everyone. ? From: [email protected] <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Jen ?

From: jfw-users@groupsio <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Jen ? I'm using the version of Outlook 2016 that comes with Office 2016. The Outlook I use has Word, Excel and PowerPoint bundled in it. So it's one big package. That's the best way I know how to describe it. ? On Saturday, May 17, 2025 at 04:37:41 PM EDT, Richard Turner via groups.io <richardr_turner@...> wrote: ? ? I use Outlook Classic in Microsoft 365. I do not have a leave messages on the server option under Advanced in File Options. I wonder Jen, if you are using a stand-alone version of Outlook 2016 Classic and not within Microsoft 365? ? ? ? ?

At least I think that¡¯s the case, since after I deleted my test e-mail in Outlook, it was no longer on the g-mail website either. ? Again, if I¡¯m wrong, I hope someone will correct me, but this is my experience at least at this point. ? Tom Behler ? ? From: [email protected] <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Jen via groups.io ? Tom, sorry I misunderstood you! I have that option, too. That just tells Outlook to delete the items in "deleted item" folder, not the server. ?

In Outlook Classic, under advanced options, I have an option that says ask before permanently deleting items in the deleted folder for all accounts. ? I have this option checked, so always get asked that question before closing the program. ? I just did a test by sending myself a test e-mail. ? I checked on the g-mail website, and the test e-mail was indeed there. ? The message? also came through to Outlook Classic, at which time I deleted it. ? When I went back onto the G-mail website, the message was gone. ? Since the message was no longer found in Outlook and on the g-mail website, I assume it has been deleted from both the Outlook and g-mail servers. ? Hopefully, I¡¯m correct about this. ? I¡¯d welcome confirmation from others if possible. ? It should save me having to delete unwanted e-mails twice¡ªboth from Outlook Classic, and from G-mail. ? Tom Behler ? ? From: [email protected] <[email protected]> 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" |
