Afer a long struggle I finally configured Outlook 2003 to connect to an
exchange server at work from my home PC. Outlook was already set up to
access the exchange server on my work PC.
On my home PC My outlook is configured for a POP account that does not leave
mail on the server as well as now this exchange account.
As I set up the exchange server account a dialog box warning that mail would
be stored in a "personal" folder unless you go in to Outlook and change where
it is stored. I asked the IT administrators if that meant that my email
would be removed from the server and they replied that it would not be
removed from the server.
I therefore did not change that setting.
I had about seven years of email on the exchange server and the folder
synchronization took about five hours on a high speed cable modem connection.
Much to my surprise, the next day when I went into Outlook in my office PC
all of the mail that was in the "inbox" was removed from the server ( or has
been moved somewhere else )
What setting needs to be changed so that the server "inbox" is not emptied
from the server?
Are these "Inbox" message likely still on the server but in a new folder?
Thanks
