Dear Group !
I have the following situation :
Two PCs, each with a different user.
One pc must run Outlook Express (OE) the other must run Outlook(OL).
Both these PCs (and the respective users) access their individual e-mail
addresses, which are registered to the same mailbox at the ISP
Now, handling multiple accounts and e-mail addresses in a common mailbox,
is easily set up in OE. This is done by defining a set of rules which
prevents the download (and hence removal from the server) of any e-mail,
which does not have the corresponding address of the currently accessing
account, in the "TO" field.
An excellent and detailed description of the scenario is found here (
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/community/columns/identity.mspx)
I need to do exactly the same in OL which is run from the other PC, but I
cannot seem to perform this task in a simple way...
The only "solution" I have come up with so far is to check the "Leave copy
of message on server" and "delete after nn days" and then setting up a
couple of rules which delete the messages with the "wrong" address in the
"TO" field from the local PC.
However; as I see it the following situations will arise :
If an OE user accesses the mailbox server first, the relevant message(s)
will be downloaded to the accessing PC and deleted from the mailbox
server. The "irrelevant" messages which are addressed to other users will
not be downloaded and hence be left on the server until they in turn are
accessed by the relevant user.
If an OL user accesses the mailbox server first , a copy of all the
messages will be downloaded, the irrelevant messages are deleted locally.
All the messages are left on the server and (the relevant) can therefore
be accessed from the OE PC. Unfortunately these users have to access the
server before nn days, otherwise the messages will be deleted.
I hope that someone is able to assist me in finding an appropriate
solution to the problem.
Thank you for your time
