outlook question 1

[PalmStrike]

Hi there mac people,

I was wondering, in out look for PC's,(microsoft exchange) on the folder list, there is a folder called personal folders which basically stores your emails onto the harddisk of your computer, as opposed to leaving them in the mailbox where they are kept on the server.

Is there a way of setting this up on the mac, as we have a mailbox here of someone who left the company, but obviously it is useful to keep for a while, but i am having a spring clean of our email server, and this particular mailbox has over 5000 emails in it, that I would like to get off the server while I defrag the email server to free up space.

any help would be great
kind regards

Rob

You need to go to Tools then services on the outlook toolbar. Then Do add, personal folder, then create a new folder.

Yes - i'm pretty sure the data is all stored in a folder named [red]User Data[/red]

This makes it easy to copy the data - i've done it several times
