Hello,
Is there a way that can config in server to prevent Outlook to delete email from server?
I know that Outlook allows to configure this, but I don't want to use that method.

Thank you.
 
Hello,

It's dovecot which you need to configure to achieve the desired. Check these pages from dovecot mailing lists:

To say it short, yes it is possible, either by modifying permissions on emails at system level, or by configuring ACLs in dovecot.

Thank you very much. I will research your links.
 
Hello,
I read this page http://wiki2.dovecot.org/ACL and tried too. But looks like this Dovecot Access Control List does not support POP3?
I only see IMAP protocol there. I also tried following lines with dovecot.conf
Code:
protocol pop3 {
  mail_plugins = acl pop3_acl
}
And send/receive from Outlook get error.
