So I have a strange question here, maybe it's impossible but I hope some people are able to guide me on how to do this.
Me and my parents are running a business and are getting over 50 mails a day on 3 different mail boxes, and on a desktop this is fine but they are using tablets too to read these but the problem is that there isn't enough space to save all those mails offline. So when they need some information from a client they need to go to the online mail panel and search there, but the searching is easier on Outlook than on Roundcube.
Is there a way to setup a local server that will stock all the mails, and when we search for a mail he temporary gets that mail from the server and deletes it after a few minutes from the tablet?

AFAIK, Outlook on phone/tablet doesn't provide such a feature to search for earlier emails that are not cached locally. If you are not using Outlook for mobile, contact your mail app vendor to see whether there is any workaround for this. – Steve Fan – 2019-06-05T03:20:41.400
It's on a Windows 10 Tablet so that isn't an issue. Can't I for example cache everything on a server locally and then just let outlook load those? – Tristan Vermeesch – 2019-06-05T15:31:35.840
Are you using an Exchange account or an IMAP account? Based on my testing, it's not possible to searching for non-cached items in an IMAP account. I don't have a Windows tablet for testing, I think it should be the same behavior as in a Windows PC. – Steve Fan – 2019-06-07T02:55:52.597
@SteveFan It's an imap account yes, but they way I'm searching to do is caching it on a local server and then getting in via outlook, but like they are stored on a server and then outlook reads them – Tristan Vermeesch – 2019-06-08T08:35:31.747
For an IMAP account, your emails are actually stored on your mail server, but unlike an Exchange account, only cached items are searchable in an IMAP account within Outlook. I don't think what you required is possible for an IMAP account. – Steve Fan – 2019-06-10T08:37:06.093
