Hi,
Someone somewhere must know an easy fix for this.
The University in which I work is looking to change it's default e-mail
program for staff from OE6 to either Outlook XP or 2003. The problem we're
trying to find a solution to is the transferral of sent messages to an IMAP
'sent' folder. There is a Microsoft KB article ( 198852) that instructs how
to set up a rule using the 'Rule Wizard' which will perform the task. The
article says it only applies to OL '98 but we've tested it and it works for
OL XP.
What we need to know now is how to automate the application of the rule, so
that it can be installed with relative ease, along with the usual sweet of
programs we provide as standard to University staff. We've tried using
Symantec Ghost 7.5 to take a snapshot of the changes made after the rule was
applied. Then we transferred and applied the snapshot to a 'virgin
machine', and tried sending a test message, and the rule worked. However,
after rebooting the machine, it wouldn't work any more, and despite trying
to repeat the whole process, we couldn't get it to work again.
We'd be grateful to hear from any one who knows a way around this. Or if
anyone knows of another (easy to automate) way to transfer sent messages
from the local sent folder to the IMAP sent folder.
Thanks
