Outlook 2000 POP3 Configuration
I have a customer that has been setup with Exchange 5.5 POP3 server.
The users are running Outlook 2000 SP3. User "A" has his Outlook configured to leave a copy of message on server. His secretary, user "B", has her own mailbox and is configured to access user A's mailbox as well. The problem I'm having is when user A checks his messages and reads/responds to them, they are marked as read, but when user B accesses user A's mailbox to check messages, they are all marked as unread. Is there a configuration in Outlook that will allow user B to know what messages user A has already read/responded to? Or is this a limitation of POP3/Outlook. If so, are there any add-on programs I could use for this purpose. Thanks for any help!! KC |

Why are you using POP3 with Exchange? It is optimized for the type of
scenario you are looking at. -- Milly Staples [MVP - Outlook] Post all replies to the group to keep the discussion intact. Due to the (insert latest virus name here) virus, all mail sent to my personal account will be deleted without reading.

Outlook 2000 POP3 Configuration
This is coming from their IT department. They opted to use POP3 for
several reasons. One being the exchange server is hosted offsite and they have no direct link or vpn solution (Cost - This is a non-profit Org.). The other reason is the users travel a great deal and they need to be able to access mail. Another reason is they claim that the mobile devices they use are not IMAP compatable.
