You will want to find out from the user if they wish to leave copies of the email messages on the server for a certain amount of time.  They will only want this if they need to access those emails from the web client or another computer's Outlook application. If they only access their email from one computer, than leave the option unchecked.

Click OK and close out the accounts window. Test the email account by sending an email to that address.
