To make outlook not download from server or leave email on server. you have to do it from the account setting. Got to tools menu, accounts, click on the account want to work on, then change or view settings. Then it will have more... button. That will bring up more tab menus and you want advanced. Your server settings for download are there and check email is in general. To have it delete any files you will find that in tools menu, options in maintenance.

Hi,I have related questions. How do you get rid of Outlook (not express) data files? And I have Outlook set up to download my mail from the server, but I want to start it and tell it not to do that. Can I add something to the command line to do this? I want to start it up and turn off the automatic downloading from the server and not have it download my mail even on this time around, since I haven't used it for a very long time and expect it to download thousands of messages.Thanks.

I like to keep e-mail around for a long time, and I don't know how OE stores it. But I would look into how much space your OE mailboxes are occupying; there is a lot of overhead with these, especially if they have attachments which haven't been removed.Check the properties of your user space, and then the properties of the folders within that space, especially within appdata. Don't look immediately after you hit the Properties command; if there is a lot of stuff in a folder, the total can build up and might not stabilize for 30 seconds or more. Don't delete things indiscriminately, but look for patterns in what is taking up the most space, noting filenames and dates. Windows does so many things behind our backs that it becomes difficult to figure out what is growing without limit.

I hit pay dirt as uninstalling that resulted in 5 other programs to be removed as well. However, now my machine gives a fatal error (fatal for some system app, not for windows) when I boot up. My mind is suddenly blank trying to remember the name of the app, however it had something to do with a license problem. Anyway, I didn't recognize it. Question, I think this stuff was installed when I installed Office 2003. I installed everything on the disks, including the business apps. So far this crash is the only problem. But it only freed up a few hundred megs.I need to free up something on the order of 5 gigs.I long ago moved my bulky media files to a separate disk. I have been regularly uninstalling programs, but the space fills up again and I don't know why.I checked the sizes of folders and documents and settings only had something like 2.47gb, while program files had 3.44gb. There is also a file called swtools containing 2gb that appears to hold apps and drivers and something else.Even the windows folder didn't seem like it contained a lot.How do I whittle down the fat on this coDKIM-Signature: v=1; a=rsa-sha256; c=relaxed/relaxed; d=yahoo.com; s=s1024; t=1296752393; bh=iL5EYlH4pPPlpRipWH5s1vChikRQIX6hb5T0ajBK9Xw=; h=Received:X-Yahoo-SMTP:X-YMail-OSG:X-Yahoo-Newman-Property:Message-ID:Reply-To:From:To:Subject:Date:MIME-Version:Content-Type:Content-mputer?Is there a place containing old history files that I can truncate?It got as low as 12gb free space and the disk was thrashing. I freed up files to over 19gb free space and it improved. Today it got below 15 and I haven't been doing anything but answer email.Any tips welcome.
