Depending on your remote setup, staying connected may prevent other dial-up users from accessing the network, especially in smaller organizations with fewer available telephone lines. To resolve this problem, you can enable offline email usage for users with dial-up connections. Here's how to enable offline usage. Do these steps on the client. Setting up for offline usage: - In Microsoft Outlook go to Tools/services - Select Microsoft Exchange server - Click the properties button, and then select the Advanced tab. The settings for enabling off line folder use will be displayed. Accept default settings. Establishing a connection: - In Microsoft Outlook go to Tools/Services - Then select Microsoft Exchange server - Click on the General tab - Select "Manually control connection state" radio button and Choose the connection type when starting check box When the user next logs on to the Exchange server, a dialog box will appear prompting him either to download mail or work off line. Some users may prefer to synchronize with their mailboxes automatically. This can be done by selecting the Remote Mail tab in the Microsoft Exchange Server Properties dialog, and selecting any of the options that will work best for a user. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Adesh Rampat has 10 years experience with network and IT administration.
