Outlook always does.
Are you subscribed to all of the folders you wish to see? Do you include
them in the send/receive group?
Is there a way I can have Outlook 2007 maintain a local copy of IMAP
folders on my hard drive
If I lose network connectivity I can't see my IMAP folders, when I am on a
satellite, sunspots, severe electrical storms, gamma ray bursters etc
often take the bird down. Like most people I have info in my mail folders
to which I need to refer for "local purposes". Also the satellite is slow
due to signal propogation delay, having a local copy means no waits.
OK, I unplug from the 'net and this is what happens
I only seem to have the headers, not the bodies - message is at top of
message reading pane is
"This item cannot be displayed in the Reading Pane. Open the item to read
its contents"
I double click the message and I get this dialogue message box
"This message has not been fully downloaded from the server. Would you
like to mark it for download" Yes / No
I would have thought that the default for IMAP accounts is that ,messages
are NOT held locally. Is not that the main difference between IMAP & POP,
the former stores your mail until you delete it, whilst the latter holds
your mail for you pick it up, after which its gone - just like a Post
Office Mail Box, which I guess is why they called it POP.
After editing the Send/Recieve Group (of which I knew nothing) it's
working exactly as I want on each computer - fantastic
