I am installing Outlook 2013 on my new computer. During the setup process I added my AOL account to come directly into Outlook. This is the way I have my current computer set up. The problem is when I open Outlook for the first time on the new computer it started to download all of my previous messages. Thousands of them. I don't want them to download, I want to start fresh on this new computer however I do not want to lose the previous messages that are on my old computer. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Outlook 2013 install question

I did not realize I was using IMAP but you are correct. The current computer is IMAC, I thought I was using POP. In any event, I don't want to make a backup. pst. I want to keep my old computer with all the messages easily accessable in Outlook, just like it is right now. The new computer "is" setup with POP. But everytime I open it, it continues to download all the old messages that I don't want. Would I be able to let it do its thing and then just delete all the messages when it is through without losing what is on the current computer?
