Internet Mail With Outlook 97
Having just ordered a PDA which comes with Outlook 2002 I decided I would move all my mail and addresses from Agent/Address Book into Outlook 97 which I have with Office 97. It's all in there after going via Eudora in what seems to be the traditional way of doing this. I am now stuck because I can't see what I need to do to persuade Outlook to collect my POP3 mail. I have tried adding the 'MINET.ECF' add in but nothing seems to happen, certainly I don't seem to get any additional options/services shown as available. I am beginning to wonder if this is a good idea, OL crashed three times during the import processes, I then discovered it had managed to carry out the import of messages three times and addresses twice, merrily adding two extra sets of 'Personal Folders' each with duplicate entries. Can anybody give me some guidance on setting it up for Internet Mail (POP3)? If it just doesn't work that would be good to know, I won't waste any more time with it. Many thanks. -- Jeff Gaines - Damerham Hampshire UK Please reply to Newsgroup. |

OK, if Outlook 97 can see the items, you now need to install Outlook 2002 in order to properly sync with your PDA. Upgrading from OL 97 to OL 2002 should retain all your items, but just in case, save a copy of your PST to another folder. After installing Outlook 2002, add the POP account with Control PanelMailE-mail AccountsAdd a new e-mail accountNextPOP3Next and answer the questions. -- Brian Tillman |

My problem was getting OL 97 to download Internet mail - I've now discovered it's a two stage process, add the add-in then add the service, goodness knows why? Mind you it's the first mail program I've used that doesn't have native support for importing bog standard Unix mail files so I should expect some quirks! Anyway, I am re-assured by your comments on upgrading, it should be here Monday. Regards. -- Jeff Gaines - Damerham Hampshire UK Please reply to Newsgroup. |
