However, you will no longer be able to download them again in the future. Make sure you backup any email you wish to keep if you need to re-install outlook for some reason.
You can also automaticly remove them from the server when you delete the message in outlook by clicking Remove from server when deleted from Deleted Items
That’s it! You now know how to keep/remove emails from the server after you have downloaded them to outlook.
Have you tried the sync feature?
