Downloading From Squirrel Mail To Outlook

[ramone_kalsaw]

Hello,

 

Can you tell me how I can make sure that only specific messages that I select in Squirrel Mail download to Outlook when I use Outlook's "Send/Receive" function.

 

I sort my mail on line and only want to download specific messages to store in my Outlook folders.

 

Thanks.

The only way I can think of to do what you want is check the mail using SquirrelMail and deleting any messages you don't want at all, moving other messages to folders if you don't want to download them in Outlook, and then leave the messages you want in Outlook in the inbox. These would be retrieved when you check the mail in Outlook.

Thanks Rick.

 

A good approach. I'll use it.

Another way that comes to my mind would be to use IMAP instead of POP. That way the messages are kept on the server and you only download the ones you want. I don't use IMAP (tried it once), so I'm not absolutely sure this would be the best method to do it.

A possible (slight?) issue with IMAP would be the disk space used up by keeping mail on the server (depending upon how much mail is received). Of course the way around that would be to periodically check/remove mail using squirellmail. I've used IMAP before and like Raul, personal preference said I didn't like it too much.
