Outlook Storage

[dpslusser]

I use the actual Outlook program to access my Outlook Web Access. I find it a pain to have to sign in to check my email and I don't get the appropriate notification of new emails. My boss told me the other day that we no longer use Outlook (the program) due to the fact that is saves all emails to the actual computer. In other words. All email sent/received can be viewed anytime without the computer being connected to the internet to access OWA.

Is there a way around this. Too were the Outlook can access OWA without saving anything.

Dpslusser,

Unfortunately, there is no way for Outlook to not save E-mail content. By design, outlook connects to your mail provider or hosted Exchange service and creates a .PST file. this file contains an offline copy of all data you see within your outlook.

You can however archive mail, to a specific time frame, and encrypt this data so no one can view the content. the data file will also not be read by outlook and can only then be unencrypted to manually opened within outlook.

Hope this helps.
