Outlook Today

My email is delivered to my Personal Folders but I want the Outlook Today to
be the root of the Exchange folders. I want Outlook Today to display my
appointments and tasks which are kept in my Exchange folders. Email is
delivered to my Personal Folders.

Since you don't start your Outlook version, this is for OL 2002/2003. Other
versions require other steps.

In Outlook, click Tools>E-mail Accounts>Next. In the "Deliver new e-mail to
the following location" drop-down at the lower left, select your Exchange
mailbox. Click Finish. Stop and restart Outlook. All done.

I am using Outlook 2002. I DO NOTwant to change the delivery location of my
emails. I DO want Outlook today to be at the root of my Exchange folders. The
calendar cannot be on my personal folders because it cannot be shared. I do
need it shared. I must deliver email to my personal folders to prevent going
oversize limit on my Exchange account. When I open Outlook, I want Outlook
today to show my calendar to help arrange my day. Thank you in advance for
your help.

"Outlook Today" is, by definition, the root of your delivery location.
Change the delivery location and you change Outlook Today.

The calendar cannot be on my personal folders
because it cannot be shared. I do need it shared.

Then you must make the Exchange mailbox the delivery location. That's how
it works. It's all or Take it or leave it.

I must deliver email to my personal folders to prevent going oversize
limit on my
Exchange account.

Then create a rule that will move incoming mail to your PST, but leave any
other type of item in the Exchange mailbox. Tools>Rules and Alerts>New
Rule>Start from a blank rule>CHeck messages when they arrive>Next. Select
the "uses the _form name_ form" condition. In the "Step 2" pane, click
_form name_, select "Application Forms" from the drop-down at the top left,
find and select "Message". Click Add, then Close, then Next. Select the
actions "move it to the _specified_ folder" and "stop processing more
rules". Click _specified_ in the "Step 2" pane and select the folder
(Inbox, perhaps) in your PST. (The "and on this machine only" condition
will get added at this point.) Click Next, then Next again (if you don't
want to specify any exceptions), give the rule a name, and click Finish.
