Adjust web mail storage time

 Instructions for Mail Setup in OUTLOOK 2003 for changing how long the server will store your webmail. Useful when on the road or at home and needed to see recent e-mail.

Ex. It is helpful to change your Outlook settings to hold your mail for 30 days for reference.

NOTE: Web mail will show everything - even what you may have deleted when using Outlook. Also - it will only show the SENT items that were sent from web mail.  If you sent something using Outlook, that is the only place you can find it (on your actual desktop or logged in remotely to it).
