Herein a tale of passion, panic, and regret, starring Entourage, Outlook, and Exchange as an ill-starred romantic triangle and myself as the Sorcerer's Apprentice.
I have been testing SharePoint 2007 at work, getting ready for a March launch. I wanted to test some email-sending features. Even though SharePoint 2007 is supposed to be more friendly to "other" platforms and browsers, I was working in IE on Windows. So SharePoint tried to use Outlook to send the emails. I haven't had my Exchange account set up in Outlook, but I thought "Hey, it's all sever-based Exchange mail anyway, I'll just tell it not to receive mail!" [The squeamish may want to close their eyes at this point.] So I set up the account in Outlook to point to my Exchange account, and went looking for a way to tell it not to receive mail. While I was looking, the "receive" operation began, and Outlook tried to sync to my Exchange account. For some reason I haven't yet discovered, it was DOWNLOADING the mails to my Windows machine. When I looked over at my Mac, where Entourage was (gulp!) open, I saw mails being deleted from Entourage as they were downloaded to Outlook! Even more unfortunately, the most recent emails were being deleted first. Given that I was supposed to leave for my birthday party (yes, it was my _birthday_, too!) in just a few minutes, I panicked. To stop the hemorrhage, I removed the Exchange email account from the profile. Now I have 1874 emails in my Personal Folders in Outlook, reaching back from 01/25/07 to 10/04/06. Mails from before that time or after that time are in my "Inbox" in Exchange on the server and my Entourage. After all that, my question: What's the best way to get the 1874 from the Personal Folders merged back into the Exchange/Entourage Inbox? Failing that, what's the best way to get them into a folder in "On My Computer"? Thanks for reading this far, and for any advice. -- Joshua -- To unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> archives: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.letterrip.com/> old-archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.boingo.com/>
