Outlook - Exchange & POP3

[Lardy]

Hi All,

Outlook 2002
Small Business Server 2003 Standard - Exchange Server

An employee has laptop computer...
Can we set up Outlook to have two E-mail Accounts under one profile with the
following setup...

1. Exchange Server account where the mail is stored either in the Exchange
Mailbox or using OST-offline folders
2. POP3 account (employees home ISP e-mail account) where the mail is stored
in a PST-personal folders file locally on the laptop.

When configuring the "Deliver new e-mail to the following location:"
selection I can't configure the two E-mail Accounts separately. I tried
using the OST-PST combination which stored the mail in separate files but
any new mail to the Exchange account went to the POP3 inbox.

I apologize in advance if I am not clear.

Lardy.

Sort of.

There's exactly one delivery location shared between Exchange and POP
accounts. To truly separate them, you need one profile for each account.
To have them operate in one profile you'll need to use rules to move all
messages received via the POP account to a separate PST. Effectively it
gives you what you want for email, but the POP account won't have its own
(active) Task, Calendar, Journal, etc. folders. It can have a Contacts
folder that can be used as an address book and included when you're looking
up names.
