Hi again. I'm writing to ask a question I meant to put during the meeting
today.
Masha called Microsoft Accessibility on Thursday to see about getting e-mail
from another account-or maybe it's a sub-account. The guy set up a new
profile, which is good.
We wanted this Windows machine to be our shared computer. We wanted the
messages this machine takes down from the server via Outlook to delete them
automatically from that server. The Microsoft accessibility guy said that
we can't exactly do that. Rather, the stuff we take down is synchronized
with the stuff on the server, and messages will be deleted from the server
when we delete them on the computer. I think I found out today that stuff I
deleted using this Windows machine remained there for my Linux box to bring
down, but this is only sometimes true.
I know that in Thunderbird, I can set it to delete messages from the server
as soon as I bring them down. I'm virtually sure that we used to be able to
do this using Outlook, although our use of Thunderbird on our previous
Windows machine for a long time means my memory may be wrong on that.
Is there a setting in Outlook by which we can delete messages from the
server immediately upon bringing them down to this machine? Often, messages
remain in our inbox for quite a while, mostly but not always ones for Masha.
At least with a couple of our outlook profiles, there's no good purpose in
continuing to have messages from weeks, months, and years ago taking up
server space.
I note that I tried to figure this out some weeks ago, but I get dazed and
confused crawling around this stuff whose predecessor programs and menus I
understood a lot better once upon a time.
Again, thank you for any help. I will not often ask for help twice here
within a few minutes, but it seems necessary at the moment.
Thanks!
Al
