Journal Activities Recorded in Contacts

[Allie]

When I am in a Contact, and pull up Activities/All Items,
I am assuming these are being pulled from the journal? If
so, why is it that the only folder being accessed for
email messages is the Sent Folder?

Is there a way to view all activities - Phone calls,
Documents, and emails residing in the Inbox, Sent Folders
and Personal Folders. Also, if I delete these emails from
their 'home' folders, will they be retained in the
journal/activities? If so, does this mean they are still
on the Exchange Server?

Thanks.

Activities are lists of contacts in the Contacts field (Links
collection) of various items. Views of activities are defined for one
or more folders (in an Exchange public folder store you can only
create an Activities view for one folder at a time).

By default the All Items view in your mailbox should list every item
in every folder and subfolder in the mailbox that has a link to that
contact in the Contacts field. The Journal has nothing to do with it
except for JournalItems that have links to the contact, which will
also be displayed in the All Items view.

If an item is deleted then it can no longer be shown in the Activities
view since it no longer exists. Each time you display an Activities
view what you are really doing is creating a temporary search folder
based on the defined view.
