Exchange synchronization

[R F Fletcher]

Hello,

I am hopeful that someone may be able to offer some help.

I am using Outlook 2002 running on Windows 98. I have configured it to
connect with my personal ISP (POP3) via cable modem, and I also want to
access my work Exchange Server account via dial-up. I don't want to
download/synchronize/receive the Exchange mail. I just want to synchronize
my
calendar, tasks, and contacts. I only want to view my Exchange e-mail.

Whenever I connect to the Exchange Server, Outlook insists on downloading
the mail from the server into my inbox used for my POP3...and it doesn't
leave a copy on the server. If I cancel, it keeps initiating a send/receive.
I have the send receive settings set to not send/receive e-mail from
Exchange, but it does it anyway. I have "Disable Send/Receive" selected, but
it does it anyway. I have searched the web, but have not found any clues.

Can anyone offer some wisdom?

I appreciate your help!

Fletch

You need to use an Exchange Only profile (Control Panel->Mail
Icon->Profiles) to connect to Exchange since the default behavior is to
download everything to a .pst file. Creating a new profile set to use
Exchange as the mail transport will leave everything on your mail server but
you can still synchronize your PPC with the Exchange server.
