IMAP and 2007 Outlook
I am using Outlook 2007, beta.
There are some things that I am not quite comfortable with IMAP and was wondering if some could share their experiences... Deleting items: I understand that IMAP doesn't naturally move deleted items to a deleted or trash folder because it uses more bandwidth. So... How do you all handle deleted items? Basically, my issue is this. I like to delete things then hold them until about 30 days after they were recieved. This is just in case I need that email again. But, everything after 30 days, I want to purge. It seems to me that IMAP clients only like to purge all for deleted, rather than have a system for only purging a select subset of emails based on a date... Anyone following me? Can you perge individual messages, or just purge all marked for deletion? Speed: At least in Outlook 2007 and previous versions of outlook I have noticed a speed issue with the client, particularly as it seeks to query the folder each time you click on it. The client hangs as it waits for the new information to be downloaded from the imap server... Is it possible to have it just query the folder during the "Send and Recieve" ? Thanks in advance. /CL |

You don't sound like a proponent of imap...

IMAP works mostly the same in 2007 as it does in older versions with a few improvements, like it now has the ability to purge automatically on folder change. No you can't purge by age. Most people who like to keep purged items use a hide deleted view to get them out of sight. It needs to resync the folders when you open them - you could try working offline and see if it helps (I don't think it will). -- Diane Poremsky [MVP - Outlook] Author, Teach Yourself Outlook 2003 in 24 Hours Coauthor, OneNote 2003 for Windows (Visual QuickStart Guide) Need Help with Common Tasks? http://www.outlook-tips.net/beginner/ Outlook Tips: http://www.outlook-tips.net/ Outlook & Exchange Solutions Center: http://www.slipstick.com Subscribe to Exchange Messaging Outlook newsletter: "EastAsia" wrote in message ...

I use it for several accounts - but I also understand how outlook works with
it and I know it's limitations. I also know that a low percentage of outlook users use imap with it, so while they have made improvements, other features get more budget because more people use them. -- Diane Poremsky [MVP - Outlook] Author, Teach Yourself Outlook 2003 in 24 Hours Coauthor, OneNote 2003 for Windows (Visual QuickStart Guide) Need Help with Common Tasks? http://www.outlook-tips.net/beginner/ Outlook Tips: http://www.outlook-tips.net/ Outlook & Exchange Solutions Center: http://www.slipstick.com Subscribe to Exchange Messaging Outlook newsletter: "EastAsia" wrote in message ...

No. That is http - and most free accounts no longer support it. If you have
a paid account, you can set it in outlook 2007. -- Diane Poremsky [MVP - Outlook] Author, Teach Yourself Outlook 2003 in 24 Hours Coauthor, OneNote 2003 for Windows (Visual QuickStart Guide) Need Help with Common Tasks? http://www.outlook-tips.net/beginner/ Outlook Tips: http://www.outlook-tips.net/ Outlook & Exchange Solutions Center: http://www.slipstick.com Subscribe to Exchange Messaging Outlook newsletter: "JDJ" wrote in message ...

You are right, its HTTP, however, what happened was MS (or MSN) quit handing out NEW HTTP free accounts that would work with MS Outlook, but all the old free accounts still worked with MS Outlook, so I hope they haven't deliberately removed that feature in this "upgrade". The paid accounts (I don't have one) do it with POP (as a mirror to what you get through the web interface) don't they? -- "J. J." |

MS is phasing out support for older accounts as well.
