open attachment - viewing anoher email creates a copy
Im using an IMAP account.
When I have an attachment open, and then change emails in outlook to view another email, Outlook decides to create a second copy of the email with the open attachment, and "mark for deletion" the first email. In doing to Outlook locks up as the copy is created and uploaded to my IMAP server. Does anyone know how to stop it doing this? Im using Outlook 2003. Many thanks!! G.

open attachment - viewing anoher email creates a copy
Don't open an email from within outlook - save it to the hard drive first.
Or get in the habit of closing the attachment before changing messages. Also, make sure you have all the updates installed. When you open attachments in Outlook and make changes the attachment is updated - normally, when you change messages with the attachment open, the attachment is orphaned in the securetemp folder and changes aren't updated. When you use IMAP, outlook is creating a new message when it breaks the link between the message and open attachment. If you close the attachment before changing messages or folders, outlook deletes the temp copy in the securetemp folder and saves any changes back to the email's copy. -- Diane Poremsky [MVP - Outlook] Author, Teach Yourself Outlook 2003 in 24 Hours Need Help with Common Tasks? http://www.outlook-tips.net/beginner/ Outlook 2007: http://www.slipstick.com/outlook/ol2007/ Outlook Tips by email: Outlook Tips: http://www.outlook-tips.net/ Outlook & Exchange Solutions Center: http://www.slipstick.com Subscribe to Exchange Messaging Outlook newsletter: wrote in message ...

They certainly dont behave the same, so that means that a difference in settings DOES provide a change in behaviour! This has given me hope that a solution can be found!

Do you have the same account configured as IMAP in both? Slight differences
in IMAP servers can affect it. Are you online in both? Behavior may be different if offline. Are you clicking save or using autosave (for email) in one and not the other? -- Diane Poremsky [MVP - Outlook] Author, Teach Yourself Outlook 2003 in 24 Hours Need Help with Common Tasks? http://www.outlook-tips.net/beginner/ Outlook 2007: http://www.slipstick.com/outlook/ol2007/ Outlook Tips by email: Outlook Tips: http://www.outlook-tips.net/ Outlook & Exchange Solutions Center: http://www.slipstick.com Subscribe to Exchange Messaging Outlook newsletter: wrote in message ...
