Blast, I set up a VPN from home last night and Outlook has sucked all the contents of my Inbox down to my home machine. I wonder how I can get them back again? I wonder how I can stop it doing it again?
find the .PST files, copy back home.<br /> <br /> run vnc on the @home PC, drag and drop via GUI when not at home<br /> <br /> switch to mozilla! (sorry)

Just a guess:<br /> <br /> On your home machine, go into the properties of the email account. On the Advanced tab, there's a checkbox called 'Leave a copy of messages on server'. Also useful if you pick up your POP3 mail from more than one place.<br /> <br /> As for getting them back to your work machine, you could export them as a PST file from your home machine and then re-import them at work.

Thanks. Can't switch to Mozilla as it doesn't talk MAPI (the service people wont enable IMAP even under SSL). I spent ages looking for the option to stop it happening but I couldn't find it - I'm pretty sure I looked under the advanced tab. I'll check when I get home.

Ah, if it's MAPI then I'm afraid I dunno guv.
Chris
That's strange - I'm running IMAP from home and it's via Services.

You can;t talk to the campus exchange server using IMAP - it isn;t enabled. <br /> <br /> There is no checkbox that says "leave it on the server" unfortunately so I have no idea how to stop it.<br /> <br /> (Now I have ADSL, I want DSL - copying that big mail file up the line is slooooow)
Lindsay
Ah, fixed it....
