My Outlook dilemma
in [Outlook]
|
From: Horsepower on 6 Mar 2010 12:36 Let me start by saying that I have followed Slipstick since Gus Hallgren gave me a great testimonial about Sue Mosher in the mid 90s. I have been posting at the MS forums and have had great answers, but i still am not sure what I want to do in this scenario. I have Outlook 2007 and until my second job's organization upgraded Exchange, was quite satisfied. I have 7 email accounts in my profile, 5 pop, 1 imap, 2 hotmail. The MS sign in client wants to create a separate profile in Outlook, but I want to have everything in one place (profile). Suggestions appreciated, Thank you -- Horsepower http://forums.slipstick.com

There's simply no way to avoid that because those account types are server-based and the server keeps track of its own folder set which doesn't need to match the Outlook folder sets. Thus you need a folder set that matches what's on the server. Your POP accounts will aggregate with the Exchange account, but there's nothing you can do for the IMAP account. If you switch to accessing your Hotmail accounts via POP, then you can aggregate them with Exchange as well, but you'll lose access to any Hotmail folder other than Inbox and it will be one-way, from Hotmail to your PC. -- Brian Tillman [MVP-Outlook]

I'm not sure why you believe all your day-to-day operations won't be in one place just because you'll have more than one folder set. All the folders will be available at one time in one mail profile. Your Exchange calendar and your Hotmail calendars will all be right there in the Calendar view of the Navigation Pane. Your Exchange mail folders, your Hotmail mail folders, and your IMAP folders will all be available at the same time. You can simply move things around from one folder to the other, if you need to do that. -- Brian Tillman [MVP-Outlook]

I just need to have the last 2 months of only the pop emails imported as well. That way I don't have to go to 2 different profiles within Outlook. It's very confusing. Thank you. (after that) hope my pda sync's correctly. -- Horsepower http://forums.slipstick.com |
