IMAP default delivery location (Outlook)

[Russ]

Hi: I have my AOL account mapped into my Outlook 2003 via IMAP. Under
"E-mail Accounts" i have the "Deliver new e-mail to the following
location" set to a PST file's inbox location.

But, new AOL mail always comes into the IMAP Inbox, not the PST file
specified as above. What am I'm not understanding about this?

I want all new mail to come to one Inbox, the one in my personal PST
file.

thanks,
russ

You need to create a rule that moves all messages received in your IMAP
Inbox to your PST. IMAP doesn't care about the deliver new e-mail to the
following location setting.
Why are you trying to move emails out of the IMAP Inbox by the way? You
are losing all the benefits of IMAP this way.

Patrick: Thanks for the reply. I was afraid of that. The whole
reason I wanted to do it in the first place is because Outlook won't
let you relocate the PST file associated with an IMAP connection. I
wanted to keep it on a different hard drive but there is no way to move
it and keep it connected with the IMAP connection.

later,
russ
