Dear Glenda, This can be done by using .ost files (offline files) if you use the = synchronise option in outlook this should work even for the responses, = they wait in the outbox untill the pc is reconnected to the xchange = server. good luck, better read some more about .ost files and synchronising in = the help files from outlook. regards=20 Marc system admin lauffisoft beheer -----Oorspronkelijk bericht----- Van: Glenda Wells [mailto:gwells@xxxxxxxxxxx] Verzonden: vrijdag 24 oktober 2003 15:44 Aan: mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Onderwerp: [mso] Outlook Offline Hi All. My boss challenged me to find a way to work with Outlook off line. What we want to do is download Outlook email locally, read it, write responses then when connected to the internet again, send the responses. The situation: We have several people here who travel. While in the office they are connected to an Exchange Server. On the road, they may occasionally have access to Exchange via dial-up. Often they spend hours flying places in a plane. What they want to do is if they are on the Server or connected via dial-up, they want to download email. When they are not connected and cooling their jets in planes (pun intended), they want to write responses to emails then have them sent when they are once again connected.=20 I browsed topics at Slipstick (great site) but I'm not sure how to ask the question. Advice and suggestions appreciated. /g ************************************************************* You are receiving this mail because you subscribed to mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx = or MicrosoftOffice@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To send mail to the group, simply address it to mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx To Unsubscribe from this group, send an email to=20 mso-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the word "unsubscribe" (without the = quotes) in the subject line.
