Exchange 5.5 SP4 on W2K. Outlook 2000 SR2 on Win XP
1) I am going to try using LBE Toolbox to strip attachments out of all emails in a folder and replace them with links to where the file has been placed. I'm going to set a location (on my file server) for all attachments. Any snags with this idea that I should be aware of? I assume that if the attachments are also in any other mailboxes, that the actual file will be copied and not move? Do I then run it against their mailboxes, or what? Any easier/better way or tool? One problem I see is that when I first ran a test, I got the folder name wrong on the server (typoed it). Of course, changing the folder name means that none of the links work. I also wonder about duplicate file names (i.e. six different companies sending "quote.xls" attachments.) and how they will be handled in the same folder on my file server. 2) Recently, Outlook 2000 has had an interesting quirk. Every message is showing up as being sent and received one hour before I actually sent or received it. If I send and email at 3pm and look in my Sent Items folder, it shows it as having left at 2pm. Same thing with incoming mail - it's an hour behind. My system clock is accurate, and I have checked the time zone settings in Outlook. It shows me in the correct time zone, and shows the correct current time. Other people show my mail as being sent/received at the correct time, so it's just my installation.
