Outlook 2007 and set up e-mail account-Does It down load all?
I have MS Office Enterprise 2007 running on Vista Ultimate 64bit computer.
My Outlook is not set up yet. I do not intends to connect my Outlook 2007 to my ISP server account e-mail. I attempted to follow the outlook wizard to connect to my Gmail account that I had for few years. Put in my wished user name Typed in my e-mail account Eg: Entered my Password: xxxxxxx Re-enterd my password: xxxxxxx I could see my outlook account being synchronised with the web browser Gmail account of mine. I want to know if there is anyway I could avoid all my webbrowser gmail inbox,outbox,deleted items from being downloaded into my computer hard drive? I want the convenience of using my outlook 2007 without any of my mails written or received being stored in my computer Hard Drive but only be retained in my web browser email account-in my case the Gmail browser account. Is that possible? snow |

Maybe, you would have to do a manual send (I use gmail in Outlook as an imap
account) PS Did you setup Outlook gmail as an IMAP account, if you used pop setup you would likely be better off with Imap setup. As Imap the data is syncronised with your web data, its not removed from your web access If you are concerned with the amount of free space on your PC, then you need to consider a larger HD, or external storage "snowshine" wrote in message ...

Outlook is an "offline reader" so it will need to download the messages.
Gmail can be configured to keep all the mail online - go into the gmail account settings (when viewing the account in the browser) and configure it to keep the mail. -- Diane Poremsky [MVP - Outlook] Outlook Tips: http://www.outlook-tips.net/ Outlook & Exchange Solutions Center: http://www.slipstick.com Outlook Tips by email: EMO - a weekly newsletter about Outlook and Exchange: Let's Really Fix Outlook 2010 http://forums.slipstick.com/forumdisplay.php?f=34 "snowshine" wrote in message ...

In order to send the messages via the gmail account, Outlook will need to sign into the gmail SMTP server. There aren't that many SMTP servers left that don't require logging in. -- Brian Tillman [MVP-Outlook] |
