Outlook 2003 - How do I keep last 2 days of email on the Exchange Server?

[Lee]

Hello-

My company uses Outlook 2003 and we just moved to OWA 2003 Premium.
We only get 50Meg of mailbox space on the server so I do not use Cached
Exchange Mode, all of my mail is kept on my own PC via a PST file.
What I would like to do is keep the last say 3 days of email, both sent and
received, on my Exchange Server mailbox so it is available via OWA. However,
I do not see an easy way to do this either with Rules, search folders,
etc... can anyone help or suggest a solution?

Thanks!

I don't know if this will work for sent items but you should be able to open
your email account settings and click on the advanced tab (for each email
account) and tick the setting to leave a copy on the server, have it delete
it when you delete it, remove it from the server after X amount of days.

Galen-

Thanks, except apparently for an Exchange Server email account the options
you discuss are not available on the Advanced tab. The only option I have
regarding Server options is whether or not to use Cached Exchange Mode.

Any other ideas? Thanks again.

It's not there at all? If you recreate the account and try to set it up as
IMAP (I'm stretching here) maybe??? If that will even work? Doesn't Exchange
support IMAP? Hmm... I looked and that's, the first directions, were all I
was able to find at any other site either.
