File -> Print -> 3 hole punch -> insert into folder -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Michael Anderson Sent: Sunday, January 12, 2003 8:29 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: Need Advice on mailbox situation
Hello, We have a power user, who belongs to many lists, and has a very high volume of mail coming into our system. He is a VERY valuable Network Tech and Programmer, and depends very much on all of his e-mail, and archived messages from all the lists he's on. This guy literally has 7 gigs of mail that he totes around with him, because he wants the security of knowing that wherever he goes, he will have his valuable mail threads that he can follow, if he ever gets into a pinch. He purposely uses POP3 to get his mail, and keeps his mail using Personal Message stores (in case the Exchange 2000 Server is down or unavailable). Well, we need to find a better way to do this, because this guy has THREE concurrent systems running Outlook 2000 (one at Home, Office and Condo) - and he does this, in order to keep 3 simultaneous copies of his e-mail, in case any of his systems blow up. I actually like his redundant setup, because it's gotten him out of a few jams in the past - and this poor guy has lost mail in the past due to our Exchange Admin guy being an idiot. We need to instill confidence back into this guy, and get him a solid Exchange 2000/Outlook solution that will deliver to him, Online AND Offline Access to his e-mail. In addition to that, we need to manage 7-gigs of mail files on his hard drive as well. Outlook has always had difficulties with the 2-gig file size barrier - so I am not sure how we can deal with his Offline Folders. What would be the BEST way, to move ALL 7 gigs of his mail to the Exchange Server, and have him exclusively use Outlook 2000 (using the Exchange Client)? I was thinking, we could copy all his .pst files up to the Server, use Server Rules to move all his mail into the appropriate subfolders as mail continually flows in, and then use Offline Folders on his local machines - so he can still access his mail when the server is down or offline. I would LOVE to hear the experts jump in on this, and please help me out. I am under LOTS of pressure to make this scenario work, and I am pretty confident it can be done - but need some direction from the experts. Thanks in advance for all your help, Mike _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
