I am curious as to whether I can retrieve my email from
web access in my Outlook 2002 (like you can
w/msn,earthlink et al). The web access is NOT user
friendly nor is it very efficient. OR do I need to up
grade to Outlook 2003?? OR am I stuck with just using
web access as my email manager??
PLEASE HELP?!
Thank you

Outlook Web Access and Outlook are simply two clients that both work with
the Exchange server to view the Excfhange server message store for a
particular user. There is no "retrieving" of messages with OWA, any more
than your looking inside the window of a house transports the items in the
house to the outside.

Outlook can operate like that as well, or it can move the messages from the
Exchange message store to a locally-stored Personal Folders file (PST).
This is similar to how POP clisnts like Outlook Express, Eudora, Netscape
Messenger or Communicator work. You just have to decide how you want
Outlook to operate.

If this doesn't help, I've obviously misunderstood what you're asking.

Thank you for your reply. Please forgive my ignorance... I am trying
to ammend it as we speak. (LOL) I now would like to ask how I can
configure my outlook to "move" them from the exchange to my personal
folder? Our system use to be smtp for outgoing and I have been told
(note the key term of "told") that this is to be no more. Is that
even possible (once again ignorance rears it's head)? My system
administrator is good, but I believe is breaking "new ground" so to
speak and I would like to assist in any way I can to help in this
move being made.

So, let me get this straight. You are attached to an Exchange server (your
Outlook Today folder view entry says "Mailbox - your name here" and your
Email account is "Microsoft Exchange Server"), but you send outbound mail
via SMTP? That doesn't make sense to me. If you are attached to an
Exchange server, your inbound and outbound mail go through that server. If
that's not the case, then you are not attached to an Exchange server and
your inbound mail is probably via a POP server, with SMTP as the outbound
transport. Also in that case, you're not using "Outlook Web Access" as the
web-based mail reader, since "Outlook Web Access" is part of Exchange and
available only to those people whose mail is kept on an Exchange server.
What you're describing sound more to me like Hotmail or Yahoo, where you log
into some web server at your ISP to read your mail. This is not the same
thing as "Outlook Web Access".

If you could describe how you compose and read mail in more detail so that I
understand more fully exactly what your situation is, I'm sure I or someone
here can help more effectively. Sorry for the delay in getting your problem
addressed.
