Mail keep s loosing mobileme emails

Question

I have a big issue:
Sometimes (4 times now), Mail looses my mobileme account! Let me explain:
I use mobileme to store all my hystoric email (12 BGyte) in 5 or 6 folders.
Once in a while Mail losses my account and I have to redownload everything. Although I have a very fast internet connection 100Mbit downstream/ 5 MBit upstream, it takes about 24 hours to re-download everything.
When this "thing" happens, basicaly the Mac-user folder is gone from /user/Library/Email folder and mail just "forgot" about the folders on my mobieme account.
I have to delete delete the acoount in Mail, create it again and wait for the 43 000~email and corresponding attachmants to sync again.
Very, very annoying.
I also use an imap gmail account with about (4 Gigabyte) and it never happened there.
Addinionatly I use my mais corporate "Micriosoft Exchange" account that never fails (about 500 MByte)
Have you ever heard of this strange problem ?
Should I dump mobileme altogether ?
Thanks

Hi
The version is
Office Outlook Professional 2010 ver 14.0.7106.5003 (32 bit). I run Windows 7 Home Professional
Unfortunately I do not have access to Outlook 2010 but hopefully Outlook 2007 is reasonably similar.
Outlook 2007 instructions
1. Start Outlook
2. Click Tools  File tab
3. Click Account Settings
4. Highlight the account you want to change
5. Click Change
6. Click More Settings
7. Click Advanced
8. In the Delivery section Tick the box that says "Leave a copy of messages on the server" 
9. Click OK.
It is also advisable to:
1. Start Outlook
2. Click Tools  File tab
3. Click Options
4. Click Mail Setup Advanced
5. Under the Send/ receive section un tick the Send immediately when connected box.
6. Click the Send/receive button 
7. Ensure that the Schedule an automatic Send/receive box is unticked.
And
1. If you click the Expand triangle at the side of the Send/receive button in the command bar
2. Click send/receive settings
3. Ensure Disable Scheduled Send/receive is ticked.
A consequence of the above is that Sending and Receiving of emails will ONLY take place when you click 
Send/ Receive in the command bar at the top of Outlook.
This means that when you start Outlook it should not try to do anything until you tell it to.
Perhaps some Kind soul will convert the above into Outlook 10 as Microsoft seem to have gone out of their way to make what should be the default difficult to achieve.
