What happens to the original email when it gets made into a task?

[sselden13]

When I drag an email to the task button to create a task, is the
original email then moved? Or only a copy? I'm using outlook 2007,
switching from Entourage on mac.
thanks,
sharon

Left mouse drag copies, right mouse drag lets you choose Move or Copy.

I hope this helps you at least a little bit!

Great thanks.

One thing I LOVED about entourage is that it linked the task to the
message -- so the original message could be stored anywhere. It also
did this automatically when you created a task from the message. I'm
hoping I can find a way to get outlook to the same. Nice to know how
to avoid accidentally losing the message altogether.

thanks again!
