Outlook 2003: Leaving messages on an exchange server
Okay here's the thing: I use a windows machine in the office that has Outlook 2003 installed.
When I work from home, I use a mac and use Microsoft Outlook Web Access on a browser.
Now, I noticed that the desktop client downloads all the messages in my mailbox and stores everything locally.
This means that accessing my mail through Web Access from home or where ever will display only the newest messages and I cannot reference emails that have already been downloaded by the desktop client.
Also, from a contingency standpoint: Hard Disk Crash = Epic Fail.
I know that there's a "Leave Messages On Server" option for POP3 accounts. Is there anything similar for an exchange account?
Or is there another way of doing it?

Inappropriate?Open Outlook. Go Tools, Email Accounts. Check view or change existing email accounts. Click Next. Make sure the "Deliver new email to the following location:" is set to "Mailbox - Your mailbox name" not a personal or pst folder. This will leave all the messages on the server and you will be able to view them from home computer as well.
We use this to view the same mailbox on two computers in our office.
Cheers
