Unicode Folder

[Charles Leung]

I configured OL2003 to access my IMAP account. The IMAP folder shows it is
"97-2002" format, but I prefer native format, Unicode. Is there any way to
make it? Thanks.

Create a new .pst file and use the Unicode format. Drag and drop your items
from the old .pst file to the new one. The close the old one.

the (insert latest virus name here) virus, all mail sent to my personal

How can I make sure that new email goes to the Unicode format folder?

Set your delivery to the new unicode .pst.

Despite what others have told you, the local PST associated with and IMAP
server is the old ANSI format. There is a Registry setting (see
http://groups.google.com/[email protected])
that will force all newly created PSTs to Unicode format. That's the only
way I know to get the IMAP cache PST to be Unicode.
