1003.0. "exchange client, how to keep it from checking mail until I tell it to" by NETCAD::BARENYS (John Barenys) Mon Apr 14 1997 22:09

Hi all..

	I am not sure that this is best place to ask
this, if not if I could be pointed in the right
direction that would be great!

I have recently started using the Exchange client (windows
messaging)  on my NT4.0 (alpha) box to retrieve mail from
a POP3 server.  It works OK, the only problem is that it
seem to check for mail at some built in time period...
when it does fund something it then retrieves and deletes
it from the server.  Since I also use a machine in the lab
(via Netscape) this means that I can not read my mail
unless in my office.

Is there a way to tell the client to retrieve mail only
when I specifically tell it to? I have looked under
the options and can not find such a setting.

Oh, while I think of it... another one that I can not
find is an auto-append of a signature file... any ideas?

Thanks in advance,
	-John

    	Auto Signature is under the Tools menu.
    
    	It allows you to create multiple signatures if you so desire.

Open your profile that connects to the POP3 system.

Check out the remote mail features.  It should be able to poll on a
schedule, download headers, allow retrieval of "copies" of messages,
etc.  

Note that remote mail is a connectivity option that can be used with 
existing LAN or dialup.

The Exchange Client from Exchange is different from the Windows Messaging
client, but Internet Mail Service can be used in either one.

(I have used the Win95 WM client against an ISP this way, but haven't
used NT4.0 with WM client, so forgive vague description)

1003.3thanks for all the informationNETCAD::BARENYSJohn BarenysTue Apr 15 1997 14:5412
It would appear that the Windows Messaging client is not
the same as the Exchange client (even thought it runs
exchng32.exe) and it does not have all of the same features...

I guess that I will go looking for the Exchange client instead.

Anyone happen to know if the mail boxes that the Windows Messaging
client creates can then be read in by Exchange client?

Thanks for all the info,
