My small business office has been using Entourage for about a year now, with
only 4 of us here it has been fine so far but we¹re needing to access email
from multiple computers now instead of just having a dedicated email
computer. Our site uses POP3 email and I¹ve noticed that Entourage does the
same thing that Outlook does ­ it removes the email from the server upon
retrieval. Apple¹s Mail application does not do this and frankly, since we
need to be able to get email on multiple machines now, we¹re considering
moving over to that just to solve this problem. Is it possible to get
Entourage to STOP deleting the email from server? Or is there another way
around this? To synchronize multiple instances of Entourage without using
Exchange, etc.? We¹d like to keep things simple if at all possible.

Open the account settings (tools menu; Accounts) and under the options tab
for the POP account there is a setting to leave mail on server, with a
couple of additional options for how long etc.
