That is a great idea I am going to ask him now. Didn't even think of it!

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I am currently working on an archive project because of capacity issues on our exchange server where I have to create .pst files to store all e-mail 3 months or older in. The files which are housed on 200 or so users PC's in their c:/pstfiles directory I created. <br />
<br />
One user brought up the issue of connecting remotely to our exchange server from his laptop at home. He doesn't use any type of remote desktop software to connect into his PC at work but just connects into the network. He has outlook on his PC. If the user needs to see a certain e-mail sent or received 3 months+ how can he without checking his outlook at work.<br />
<br />
Just thinking now -- Can we map the archive folder to his laptop outlook application without punching holes in the firewall?<br />
Will he have to remote desktop from his laptop at home into his pc at work and use it that way?<br />
&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Also if it helps I have a file on the desktop called archive e-mail backup.bat which is a script to send the .pst file located on his hard drive at work to the storage server.

Archiving in outlook

Interactions between email servers and clients are governed by email protocols. The three most common email protocols are POP, IMAP and MAPI. Most email software operates under one of these (and many products support more than one).  The correct protocol must be selected, and correctly configured, if you want your email account to work.

Email Protocols

Exchange is the server side of a collaborative application product that is part of the Microsoft Server infrastructure. Exchange's major features include email, calendaring, contacts and tasks, support for mobile and web-based access to information, and support for data storage.

An email client, email reader or more formally mail user agent (MUA) is a computer program in the category of groupware environments used to access and manage a user's email. A web application that provides message management, composition, and reception functions may internally act as an email client; as a whole, it is commonly referred to as webmail. Likewise, email client may be referred to a piece of computer hardware or software whose primary or most visible role is to work as an email client. Email clients can also have other systems, like calendars, notes and contact managers.
