Hello,
My I use Outlook 2007 for my work email. When I am in the main office
connected to the corporate network, I get all mail through a
connection to the exchange server. When I operate remotley, I connect
to the mail server via an IMAP connection. We set it up so that
outlook prompts me to select either the IMAP or Exchange connection
when I open it. When operating under IMAP, I open all mail in IMAP
folders - (not by redirecting the mail to local folders on the
machine). I do this to keep the continuity of my messages by making
sure they are all on the exchange server.
This situation is causing the following issues:
1. When I flag emails for follow up under an IMAP session, it only
gives me one option - flag or no flag.
2. Flagged Categories assigned to messages from the Exchange session
are not visible (or available) in the IMAP session - although the
messages are available. This holds true for when I am in an Exchange
session - items flagged or categorized under IMAP dont translate to
Exchange.
3. Calendar items in the Exchange session are not availble in the IMAP
session. HOWEVER, if I get a calendar request when running under IMAP
and I accept *under IMAP" it makes it to my calendar on exchange.
4. When opened in IMAP, the Contacts folder on the exchange server
looks like a list of e-mails. The same holds true for the tasks
folder.
Does anyone have a similar situation? Can anyone offer advice? It is
difficult to be out of the office for 2 days and then have to go back
and re-flag all emails when I re-open my Inbox in outlook on the
exchange server. Not to mention the calendar and task issues....
Perhaps there is a different email client I can use?
Thanks
