Hello all,


If using Outlook 2002 on Windows XP at home, and using a dsl VPN connection
to connect to your offices Exchange Server 2000;

and when setting up the connection at home the very first time you
accidentally uncheck the "leave messages on server" button;

and then all the messages from exchange server at the office are downloded
to your home machine;

and then when you get to the office all your messages are gone (becaouse
they are at home);

how do you change this back at home, so all the messages won't be downloaded
to the home machine?

I have been through every setup file & search feature & help page I can find
& I can't figure out how to change it back???

Someone please help.



Thanks in advance for any advice!!!

GMP.

Don't use POP. Use Exchange. You're already able to connect using VPN, so
just create a profile that uses Exchange and access the mailbox/server
directly. You can sync to an offline file (OST) for offline use.

Don't use PST files in the Outlook profile - have remote users use only the
Exchange Server and Outlook Address Book services. You can import from the
PST file to the Exchange mailbox to get the messages back, and then get rid
of the personal folders service.
 
ok - cool Thanks. I wasn't using pop mail, but it was sending the items to
the personal folders & deleting them from the exchange server....i figured
it out now! Thanks for the help!!!

Glad to help - when you mentioned "leave messages on server", that's a POP
thing, so you confused me. ;-)
