Outlook 2003 - what happens to messages w/ Exchange and POP accoun

[Ryan]

Hi,

Question for the group. I am on an exchange server and have several pop
accounts set up in Outlook 2003. I have a rule to move the POP messages to a
personal folder upon receipt. Exchange is the default mailbox because that
is the one connected to my blackberry.

Couple questions:

Does outlook put the message directly into the personal folder (i.e. it
never touches the exchange post), or does it write it to the exchange post
first and then move it?

If the latter, when the rule applies and the message is moved to the
personal folder, does any record of the POP message stay in the exchange box
or no?

I have multiple accounts, but I am sensitive to not putting personal email
into exchange.

All help appreciated, as I would much prefer to use Outlook than Thunderbird
to read my pop mail accounts.

If Exchange is your default location for delivery of all mail, there will be
a transaction log that is created that tracks every message that goes in or
out of your Exchange mailbox (this is what is used to restore mailboxes in
the event of a catastrophe). However, an actual copy of the message is not
kept in Exchange mailbox if you have a rule to move the message, and not
move a copy.

Milly- Thanks. What information does the log entry consist of?
