Hi All. New to outlook. Was able to successfully sync it with my isp email
(pop, etc) and setup to pull email from inbox every minute. Haven't been
able to pull mail from other folders (sent, saved, etc). Any suggestions.
I'm stumped. Office Outlook 2007. ISP is AT&T which uses a Yahoo
environment in the eMail client.
 
Ammend your mail settings to no less than 5 mins, any less can cause
resource problems, and since email is not an instant comms process you'll
not miss anything.

And when you refer to other folders are you meaning folders on your web
mail? If so you would have to move the msgs to the inbox of the web mail
client.
Allthough I believe there is an export/archive function in the web mail
client that exports msgs in .eml format to your desktop, which can then be
moved to Outlook
 
Move the messages to the inbox. Wow. So elegantly simple.

Thanks for the info re time setting / resource problems.

The POP protocols have no concept of "folders" and can only obtain messages
from the Inbox folder on the server.
