This what outlook does it will download your e-mail to your workstation,
so e-mail is not on the server anymore. As far as qmail or sqwebmail is
conserned e-mail is gone.
to fix this problem in outlook
go to tools-> accounts->select your account->properties->advance->check the
box saying->leave the copy of the message on the server
There is addidtional options you can select.
I think this should take care of your problem
