I have Outlook set up to look at my web e-mail server every 5 minutes. EVERY
time it does an update, it downloads the entire mail box contents - all
500MB+ of data from 2003!

How to I change the settings so that Outlook only downloads the data that it
hasn't already downloaded?

I dont want to delete the mail messages on my web e-mail server once it has
downloaded them because then I would have no backup if my PC went belly up.

Please HELP!!!!

Well firstly, 5 minutes is too short. return it to the default of 10
minutes. Secondly, how are you connecting to your server? POP? IMAP? Or
HTTP?
