How to keep a copy in my Internet email inbox when using outlook 2003?

Dear Experts:

    I am using outlook 2003 to check my email messages. I found that after outlook 2003 download all emails from my online email inbox. Those emaiils are deleted from the online account, which means I cannot check it from other computer using web browser then.
    I tried to find an option in outlook to avoid auto-deleting emails, but I couldn't find it.
    Can you tell me where I can find the option or how I can solve the issue?
     Thank you!

Configure your account like IMAP, not POP3

Tha advantage of IMAP is that you have the folders in the server, so the sent-mail can be accesed from web browser
i agree with albuitra.
IMAP is better for you to sync your outlook and the email box in your server.
