We are slowly upgrading to Office 2003 @ work and just learned that I cannot
have the BCM installed because we use an exchange server. I've had a chance
to experiment witrh it at home and love it. I can actually link the same
email to more than one account.....and really all I'm doing is creating a
link vs. another copy of the file. I've had so many needs to do this over
the years......and now I still can't use it at work. Microsoft...What's up
with that????
Why did you not configure BCM to work with exchange? Big mistake.....Please
provide a fix!

There is a fix, although it's somewhat unsupported. See here:

Select All Categories and then scroll down until you see a post about using
BCM with an Exchange mailbox.

Thank You Patricia. I reviewed the work around with our IS&S department and
we tried it out. Unfortuantely, while it will work, I think running outlook
in "Cached" mode is too big of a trade off. My hope at this point is that
enough users will get the chance to experience the BCM program and start
complaining to Microsoft. I just do not understand the logic of creating
such a useful tool.....but creating it so it can't run on exchange servers!
Maybe I do understand.......dangle the carrot and then charge more
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$.
