I'm in Chicago and we've been under a "stay at home" order since 20 March. We'll be going back to work next Wednesday 3 June. We use RackSpace as our email server and, while at home, have all been checking email through their on-line system. Once we're back to work, we'll resume using Outlook 2013 on our PCs, of course, but I do have one major concern. And i do mean major.

All of those PCs have the following settings activated in the "Advanced" tab of their "Account Settings - Delivery" tab:

"Leave a copy of message on server"
"Remove from server after 14 days"
"Remove from server when deleted from 'Deleted Items'"

Since we will not have checked email for over 10 weeks, I'm worried about the "remove from server after 14 days" setting. Will Outlook 2013 first download all 10 weeks of mail into the PCs' inbox before removing all but the last 14 days of email from the server? I'd definitely be in the dog house (if not out on the street) if everyone lost the last 8 weeks of mail.

Thanks in advance,

Terry
