Force full message download in subfolders with an IMAP account
Hi - I am migrating to a new machine. My IT department helpfully set up my
IMAP email into Outlook for me. However, I have a complicated & extensive set of subfolders, and all that Outlook has downloaded are the message headers. I can go into each subfolder, mark the messages, and download them - but this is taking forever. Is there a way to "Mark messages for download" and "Process marked headers" for subfolders instead of going into each folder? (Outlook 2007, by the way.) Thanks in advance... Ben. |

I understand, that the Send/Receive Settings you can customize this. You choose "Download complete items including attachments for subscribed folders" instead of "Download headers for subscribed folders" which I think is the default (and what I have selected in my Outlook 2007). Then you do a Send/Receive or wait for the next scheduled Send/Receive. It might take a while though I assume, depending on the amount of messages and your bandwidth. I haven't tried it myself as I have let Outlook download a copy when I select each individual message. I have lived with not having them all locally copied as I am basically online all the time anyway. -- Kjell |
