More on Leaving Messages on the Server:

Unchecking the Leave a copy of messages on the server box allows Outlook to download the inbox from the server to your local drive.

If you check this box your incoming mail messages remain on the server, the result is that each time you check your mail, all messages in your inbox are downloaded from the server. For those users who have large inboxes, you are impacting the mail server while increasing your wait time for these messages.

If you decide to leave mail on the server, make sure that you check the box to the left of Remove from server after X days. In place of the 'X', put '5'. Specifying a value of 5 will keep messages on the server for 5 days. After that period of time, the message will be removed from the server.
8. Click OK to exit this window back to the E-mail Accounts window. In this window click Next > to finish setup.
