outlook dual profiles
I manage a small network running exchange and 30 workstations- xp pro.
The owner wants to purchase a new laptop and needs access to all his contacts, calendars , emails using outlook 2003 when traveling abroad and working in the office. I plan on setting up (2) profiles on his new laptop - one for the office to connect Outlook to Exchange and the other profile for when he 's on the road. This "traveling" profile will have Outlook configured to access POP Mail from the exchange server. This I presume will utilize a pst file I want to configure the Outlook using this "traveling" profile to leave a message on the Server so when he comes back into the office LAN , and logs in using his "office profile", all mail that was opened when he was on the road will be populated into his outlook. If the configuration I am planning on implementing sounds flawed, please provide input to resolve this in a more efficient manner. - The bottom line is he wants to be able to utilize all the features of Outlook 2003 no matter if he's in the office or in an Airport; without having to use Outlook web access. thanks for your help -- Colin Camp |

outlook dual profiles
POP3 is bad because it never fails that the user eventually returns to the
office to complain that the "Inbox" is empty or they can't access the other essential folders like calendar, tasks, contacts, .etc. Out of curiosity, is the site running Exchange 2003? If the answer to this is yes, I would take a look at allowing the owner to connect via RPC over HTTPS. The reason why is that brings you back to the single mail profile and s/he gets the full Outlook 2003 experience in & out of the office. "ColinCamp" wrote in message ...
