Exchange 2003 & Outlook 2003

[Milly Staples [MVP - Outlook]]

It sounds like you are using a .pst on your tablet that pulls the emails from the Exchange mailbox. Use the Exchange mailbox as the delivery location on both machines and get rid of the .pst file. Pst files are not meant to be used in an Exchange environment.

To have a local copy of your exchange mailbox when you are out of the office using your tablet, set your tablet to use an offline folder. Tools->Options->Mail Setup=>Accounts->View or Change=>Highlight Exchange->Change->More Settings->Advanced Tab.

| Microsoft Outlook 2003
|
| I have Microsoft Outlook 2003 on my desktop and on my Tablet PC.
| Typically, I use my desktop to retrieve emails and respond to emails

Make sure you have set you default delivery location to the Exchange mailbox
and not to a pst-file.

Here is my system requirements:

Microsoft Exchange 2003 Enterprise Edition
Microsoft Outlook 2003

I have Microsoft Outlook 2003 on my desktop and on my Tablet PC. Typically,
I use my desktop to retrieve emails and respond to emails that come from the
Exchange 2003. However, I opened up my Tablet PC Outlook 2003 and the
emails began to show up on my Outlook on my Tablet but at the same time on
my Desktop the emails disappeared. So now all of my old emails are on my
Tablet PC and are not on my desktop.

How can I fix it so what I see on my tablet I see on my desktop? I would
also like it so that it does matter whether I use my tablet or desktop the
same emails will appear.

I am unsure of which group is the correct group so I posted it in multiple
groups.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

It sounds like you are using a .pst on your tablet that pulls the emails from the Exchange mailbox. Use the Exchange mailbox as the delivery location on both machines and get rid of the .pst file. Pst files are not meant to be used in an Exchange environment.

Before getting rid of the PST, import the contents to the mailbox --
after changing the delivery location, of course.

Thank you for your reply.

It appears that the .pst file took all of my emails from the exchange. How
can I get the .pst emails back on the exchange.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Drag and drop works better as it preserves the message dates.

Thank you for your reply.

It appears that the .pst file took all of my emails from the
exchange. How can I get the .pst emails back on the exchange.

Once you've changed the delivery location to the Exchange mailbox, you can
simply drag/drop the items from your PST file folders into your Exchange
mailbox folders. Then close the PST file when done by right-clicking on it
in your folder list.
