One of the comments from my previous post on how to setup Yahoo! Mail in Outlook mentioned that his/her mails in her webmail were deleted after using POP3. This behavior is perfectly normal! But don’t worry, there is a way to fix this ‘problem’. Just follow the steps after the jump:
- In Outlook menu bar, select Tools -> Account Settings.
- Select the mail account and click on the “Change…” button on top.
- In the Change E-mail Account windows, click on the “More Settings…” button.
- Select the “Advance” tab.
- Check “Leave a copy of messages on the server”. There are two more options at bottom that you can check. You can either choose to delete the emails from the mail server after certain period of time or remove those permanently deleted emails.
And you are done! This guide should work for other emails provider that use POP3 as well. Please give your comment below!

How do I set up my emails where the email I receive can be accessed from my home PC, web mail or my iPhone? All can be viewed by any of the three and not deleted if I open one up?

This is all very good and easy but one thing i still can’t do and it might not be possible is : Can I see and maintain my personel folder from yahoo in outlook 2007
When I clicked the Test Account Settings, the ‘log in to incoming mail server’ was completed but the ‘send test e-mail message’ failed. Then I got this error:
“Send test e-mail message: The connection to the server was interrupted. If this problem continues, contact your server administrator or Internet service provider (ISP).”
what’s the solution to this? thank you so much!
Never mind my previous post. It’s completed now.
thank you for the easy steps to set up my Yahoo email to be viewed using Outlook.
