Hi:
I have been using my Outlook 2K for quite some time. I am
trying to simplify my setup.
I am using Outlook in CW mode so that I can turn on Remote
Mail. This is necessary because daily I travel to a place
where the dialup is truly slow and I need to see my emails
on the server before download (size) and selectively
download (and same is true for upload).
As an added bonus of Remote tools, you see Spam and Virus
emails on the server and delete them before download. A
Spam email deleted before download can load a cookie
and/or spyware. A virus email deleted on the server
cannot infect your system.
My system works fine, however the only way I can find to
access different servers is to create muliple "Profiles"
and then log in and out of Outlook every time I want to
check a different server. This is inconvenient and
logging in and out frequently necessitates reboots - O2K
will hang once you've logged in and out 10-15 times (the
mapis32 prog locks). Further having multiple Profiles
accessing the same Outlook PST file is not stable. If you
need to change any of the server settings in one profile,
it frequently deletes entries in other profiles that
access the same .PST file.
This is all livable, but inconvenient. I notice that the
communications box that pops does have room to show that
it will be checking multiple servers.
The question (after all this preamble) is does anyone know
how to enable multiple server email send/recieve when
using Remote Tools in CW mode? (not just using the
Send/Recieve button because this negates the ability to
view file headers before download/upload).
Paid for my Office, real copy. Asked this question to MS
support about a year ago and did not receive a response
other than direct me to a Knowledge base article that
shows how to turn on Remote Tools).
Any suggestions are appreciated.
