2 computers - mail disappears from inbox using Exchange 2003 & Outlook 2003
Is there a way to have 2 computers & a Blackberry (connected to Blackberry exchange Server Express) do the following:
here is what I have:
2 computers Connected to Office network
Connected to Exchange server 2003
Using Outlook 2003
Computer 1 - Mailbox set to exchange Mailbox
Computer 2 - Mailbox set to Personal Folders
Both computers set to leave messages on server for 45 days
Here is what is happening:
Computer 1-receives email in Inbox (mailbox-user name)...can see email in inbox for 10 secs and then it disappears. I can use a rule and move it to another folder, but then the Blackberry cannot find those messages for replying or opening attachments
Computer 2-receives email just fine using pop account. Apparently, from reading the other questions here, I should not be doing this and that is what is making the emails disappear from computer 1.
I need to know how the user can have his desktop & laptop set to receive email and share the calendar and have the email remain in the inbox. I would appreciate any suggestions. thank you.

How do I configure Computer#2 to use RPC/HTTP?
Yes, both computers are accessing the same mailbox.
Would it be better to create another user (for Computer#2) and let him access/share the Calendar on the mailbox-user on Computer #1?

I gave you a link to configure RPC/HTTP
These are 2 different users?
If they are on the same network why not simply connect them both to the same mailbox on exchange?

OK, sorry about the link.
At present, Computer 1 is the desktop & computer #2 is his laptop. At present, both Outlooks are configured the same:
Accessing the Exchange Server with the same account and password.
Computer 1 has the mail going to Mailbox-User
Compute 2 has the mail going to the .pst file using POP.

OK, so it is one user - then you only need one user account.
Set the laptop up with RPC/HTTP as per the above link, and then you can connect to the mailbox from anywhere

Thank you...it sees to work.
Please clarify - are both computers configured for the same user account?
That would explain the '10 second' appearance on Computer1 -- (viewing incoming messages on the Server) just before the messages drop to the .pst file on Computer2.
Thanks,
