Similar for me but with a different phone - Outlook 2007, gMail and a Windows Mobile Phone (HTC Touch Pro). What (I think) you want to do is pretty simple, but the options are bit hidden. First remember that gMail always keeps your mail in the "All Mail" folder - that's your main archive. Anything you "delete" actually ends up there. By default Outlook only downloads headers of messages, not bodies (so it wouldn't keep them locally). The first thing is to change the way Outlook downloads your messages. In Outlook press CTRL+ALT+S to bring up the "Send and Receive Groups" dialog (you can also get to this from the Tools > Send/Receive > Send/Receive Settings menu). You can get pretty complicated here (multiple groups and schedules and settings, etc) but I find it simplest to just keep one "All Accounts" group (this is the default). Here you can determine how quickly you want Outlook to check for changes - purely personal preference. You can also schedule automatic checks when offline if you like. Once that's set press the "Edit" button. This is where you set the specifics for each account in the group. You want (of course) to leave "Receive Mail Items" checked, but the default beneath it is "Download Headers..." - you want to change this. The basic option is just "Download complete items..." - this is easiest. However you can get more complex by picking the third option and selecting specific actions for each IMAP folder. Now all your mail will be downloaded automatically to Outlook (to a PST file). By default each IMAP connection will get its own PST file. To find your file right click the main folder for your IMAP store in Outlook, choose "Properties". Then, in the "General" tab, press the "Advanced" button to see the file name being used. You can back that up, import it elsewhere or whatever you like. You can also set archiving options on specific folders if you like. Remember tho' that Outlook will still "sync" to the gMail (delete a file on the phone and it gets deleted in Outlook). However since all mail is stored in the "All Mail" folder it's never really "gone". I've this combination (gMail IMAP, Outlook and my enabled phone) to behave exactly as I want things to. Wherever I read something, organize something, etc it automatically "syncs" to everything. Exactly what I want. Hope that helps.
