Our company is migrating from Lotus Notes to Outlook 2003 and I have a couple
questions. First, in Lotus Notes, I had an option to replicate my email to a
local copy. The mail server only retained 60 days worth of email so if I
needed anything older than that I had to replicate it, and then access my
local replica. Once setup, this was a seamless process, it replicated daily
and simply merged any new emails into my local copy (I disabled replication
of deletes). Is there anything similar in Outlook? I've read about Backups,
and about Archiving, and about using pst files (we are using Exchange Server
with our mailboxes on the server). I don't want to move the mail to a local
folder because I need to access it from multiple computers and I want the
benefit of the server-based backups.
Second, I have created an HTML-based email signature, which works fine on
any new emails I create. But, if I am forwarding or replying to an email that
came in as Plain Text, then the html signature doesn't work. Is there a way
to always force all my emails (new/reply/forward) to be in html or rich-text
so my signature works?
Thanks
