How do I download pop3 messages in entourage and have it savethem to an exchange server?

[Robbie]

I used to do this in Vista and XP. I could tell Outlook 2003 to "Deliver new
email to the following location" and choose my Exchange Mailbox. That is set
on the POP account within Outlook. So when I do a send/receive on my pop
account, email is dumped into the exchange server....if I ever switch pcs or
use multiple pc's, it all gets dumped to the same place so it can be
retrieved.

How do I do this with either Mail, or Entourage?

So far, all I can see is that I can make an Exchange account, or a Pop
account. I can drag emails between inboxes, one by one....Cant even manually
drag a group of emails, far as I can tell...

Background:

Running Exchange 2003 on Windows 2003 Server.
Used to run Outlook 2003.
Now have Entourage 2004.

Have an Exchange account and a pop account.
I can setup Imap if necessary.
Not sure if the email provider can do imap or not. Don't think so.
Would like Entourage to just be able to do this like Outlook did.

Under Tools in the Menu bar, select Rules.

Click on POP --> new rule

Criteria:

All Messages (this will get spam so you might want to select your Inbox)

Action:
Move Messages --> Select from popup your Exchange Inbox
Set Category (optional...however you might want to set up a category named
POP and set category to show they came from your POP account)

I see you sent this with the test drive of Entourage. Please be aware that
if you decide to purchase the full version you MUST be very careful to
completely remove the test drive before installing your paid copy of Office.

See this link for help removing the test drive.

Be aware that with the Office Test Drive, Entourage will not delete mail
from your POP server. This is a safety feature in case you decide not to
use Entourage. I'm not sure how this will affect your testing. You may
end up with duplicates of E-mail messages or things may not work as you
expect until you have the full version.

Thanks to both of you. I did set up a rule. Now a side effect of this:

If I am in the Exchange mailbox reading mail, and wish to reply, I need to
reply with the pop account...the default sending account is the Exchange
account and I have to remember to change it on each email I send...can I
default the pop account on these mails?

Again thank you very much.
