I have just installed Outlook 2003 and am accessing e-mail on both an IMAP
and a POP3 server. I am attempting to download complete messages to it,
because the servers are slow. To do this I followed the following setup
procedure:
Tools>Send/Receive>Send/Receive Settings>Define Send/Receive Groups
Click on group.
Edit>>Accounts>Folder
Click on folder
Check Download complete item including attachments
and used to download the messages:
Tools>Send/Receive
Mark to Download Message Copy
This seems to work fine for new messages, but old messages still on the
server will not download. This suggests that Outlook in some way incorrectly
remembers which messages have already been downloaded and skipps them. There
is a header on the messages on the server that changes when the message has
been touched by some (other) e-mail programs. I have also read that Outlook
keeps a record of what messages it thinks it has touched. Either of these
mechanisms could be used to determine which messages will be downloaded.
Which mechanism does Outlook use to identify messages to skip when donloading
and How can I cause all the messages on the server to be downloaded?
