Outllok Anywhere removing e-mails

[kansaskolors]

I have Exchange 2007 setup to use outlook Anywhere. I have 3 'Test' computers
using OA. OA works fine from 2 of them but when I update on the third
computer, all e-mails in only the inbox (all other folders remain intact)
from the other two are removed and remain on the third. Any suggestions?

Don't set a pst-file as the default delivery location but leave it set to
the Exchange mailbox.

Thank you for the information!! If you don't mind, one more question. When I
changed the delivery location, is outlook anywhere supposed to migrate both
my work and personal e-mails to the exchange server? I'm kind of a noob with
exchange.

What kind of personal account? A POP3 account will deposit email in your
normal Inbox and would, therefore, be stored on the Exchange Server. An
IMAP account stores email on the IMAP server, Outlook will create an .OST
image of your IMAP folders on your local machine, so this data would not be
stored on the Exchange Server unless you move or copy it from the IMAP inbox
to your Exchange inbox.

I have a pop account for my personal e-mail account. What Outllok Anywhere is
doing, it is not diferentiating between my pop account and my exchange
account. Is it normal for Outlook Anywhere to store both types of accounts on
the Exchange server or am I missing a setting somewhere? Thanks for any help
you may be able to give.

You can separate them via various mechanisms depending on your needs and
Outlook version.

Thank you for the information. Now that I understand how OA works a little
better, and after all the information I have gotten through this discussion
group, I now have a nicely functioning OA experience. And my bosses are happy
too. Thanks again.
