Using Outlook 2016 with POP access. Is there a way to prevent it from downloading messages older than 30 days or whatever number of days I choose?
My reason if needed... We have been using POP access for a single email address on multiple computers. We now have IMAP access that I am still getting straight but not sure if everyone else wants to switch to IMAP (dont have to convince me, I WANT IMAP!). I just found that our POP account had the option set to delete messages older than 30 days. So now when I log into the webmail version, all that older stuff is gone. I found that since I have it all downloaded already through POP, I could manually drag and drop all older messages into the IMAP inbox and everything will go back up! The problem with this, it will then redownload all these messages as duplicated into the POP inbox again, several years worth and on everyones computer. Is it possible to do this and have it not redownload all this back through POP?
