hello there guys-its the irish paddy here again...i have a problem that i cant seem to sort. the MD of one of my clients wants a copy of his emails on his home PC. he wants to download them just as they would at work. what i did was set up Outlook on his home PC and asked it to download his emails from the server in his office as a POP account. the problem is this emptied his inbox. is it possible to do this without empting his inbox???? surely this is a doddle to you lot. ps i wanted him to use the OWA but there server is on a 64k isdn line connected 24/7 with a static IP-which is so slow he'd prefer have a replica of his office desktop on his home PC thanks in advance Troy
