| 787865 | 2009-07-01 08:36:00 | Hi I am looking to move 3 networked computers (connected via NetComm Router and OS XP Pro) from an old office to a new office. Right now employees have their emails (business emails) on their computers (each employee has his/her emails on his/her computer),,,,,,outlook express is used as an email client. At new office what should I do to automatically (I know how to backup outlook manually but this is not what I am after) backup emails for each employee from his/her computer to a server (Plan it will be a dedicated basic PC for this purpose) Is there a software for that purpose ? Thanks |

| 787868 | 2009-07-01 09:02:00 | Why not have all their emails stored directly on the server. | mikebartnz (21) | ||

| 787870 | 2009-07-01 09:43:00 | I've never tried it, but This here (download.cnet.com) might work - the comments section looks favorable - and the price is right -- free. Other wise you can use something like Synctoy (www.microsoft.com) and aim it at the main store folder for Outlook Express and location to the Server backup folder(s). Edited: opps - same link as Blams suggestion. Obviously the main difference being Outlook Express has multi .dbx folders, while Outlook has one .pst file. |

Thanks To be honest I don't know as I don't use Outlook Express but I'm sure it could be done. I know I could do it with Thunderbird. Try the help file to find out where the files are stored and how. |

| 787873 | 2009-07-01 14:23:00 | First I set up a folder for each user on the server then map a network drive to the server from each desktop. I would call it e: Then in OE from the tools menu > Options > Maintenance Tab > Store Folder button, then browse to drive e: This will completely change where all the emails are stored, I would suggest you also make a backup of these folders. |

| 787874 | 2009-07-01 15:01:00 | First I set up a folder for each user Thanks Rob. Do I need to st any specific security access for those folder in order not be access by other users ? If this is the case what would be the username ? would be username for his email address or username for his widows login ? OE from the tools menu > Options > Maintenance Tab > Store Folder button, then browse to drive e: I am pretty sure it is OE,,,,what would be the option in case of outlook 2003 ? |
