Re: Outlook 2013 folders - don't want to synchronize with email provider's ser I can't figure this out - how can I stop them from synchronizing, and delete these folders/contents only from the provider's server. I read the Outlook blog article " Choose which IMAP account folders appear in Outlook" and followed directions, unsubscribing to all the folders that I had set up, but there is still a problem - when I went back onto the provider's server to delete all the "pushed back" emails, it simultaneously deleted them in Outlook!! I want them to stay in Outlook on my PC, and only disappear from the provider's server when I delete them. Now, however, Outlook has "automatically" pushed ALL of my folders and contents BACK onto the email provider's server! It has pushed back very old emails that I deleted from their server long, long ago! I don't want that! I just want the provider server to have my new email, which I will store in Outlook on my computer, and back up myself.
I successfully moved all my old emails/folders in a pst file into Outlook 2013 on my new computer. I did not have any folders on the provider's server, and liked that. Periodically, I signed onto the email provider's server directly (not in Outlook, generally from another computer), and deleted old emails, those I did not want. Procedure with Outlook 2003 was that I opened Outlook, which downloaded my emails from provider's server, I moved emails I wanted to save into folders, and deleted the rest.

I have numerous folders in Outlook on my PC that store and organize my old emails.
As always, the Lounge’s expertise is much appreciated.I just got a new computer, and installed Outlook 2013 (last version was Outlook 2003). I guess I don’t understand pop3 either, because my two accounts that use it behave differently. It was originally set up as IMAP, but with the referenced difficulties, I switched it to pop3.Īll said, I’d like to use IMAP, but I don’t understand it well enough to be confident in not losing something that I need later on. I get an error that says the server can’t do that.Ĭomcast is a new account for me. That doesn’t seem to work with an IMAP message. With any pop3 message, I can use a rule to automatically move the message to the right spot. If I’m also monitoring gmail on the web, the message in the inbox goes away. Right now, any gmail (IMAP) message I receive that I want to keep, I drag into a stored folder that’s in the main Outlook date file (pst). I haven’t been backing up the IMAP ost files, as I understand that’s pointless. I know that POP3 is old and typically not recommended, but I like controlling my files directly having them on my hard drive where I can back them up is comforting. I have both accounts set up to “keep a copy on the server.” I only access my msn.com messages from my PC, so I don’t know how Exchange handles deletions. If I delete something from comcast, it also gets deleted on my PC. If I delete something on my phone from CLink, it doesn’t seem affected on my PC. If I delete a gmail message from my phone, I can watch it disappear from my PC’s inbox.
If I delete something from my phone or laptop, I don’t want it gone from my PC. What I want is for my PC to be the master. I have four email addresses: msn.com, which is MS Exchange, which is pop3, which is pop3 and, which is IMAP. My phone is an android, using the default mail program, whatever that is.

My laptop with WIN 10 Pro is set up for Live Mail. My PC has Office 2016, so I’m using Outlook 2016 on it. Today, besides my PC, I have a laptop and a cell phone. I only had one PC, and I handled all my mails either with MS Outlook or Thunderbird.
