Yes you can use the web browser to view mail if on the road. However, if one replies or sends a message, there is no record in the Outlook pst file and policy is to have a copy of all email sent.
The easiest solution is to move it as it comes in - but as this thread shows, the easiest solution is not always possible. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Pam Handshy Sent: Saturday, July 26, 2003 11:27 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [IMail Forum] IMail Rule for Attachment Size Excuse me if I sound daft, but we have our travelling clients view their mail through the web interface and move any large messages themselves to other mailboxes. Yes, it would be nice if we did everything for them, but if they want to use SMTP for file transfer, then they fall under a different set up rules. You can't hook up a garden hose to a fire hydrant and expect the same results.....

I want to stop it at the server and divert it to a different email account that can be checked only when the user has the time. Nirvana would be a way to do that and send a simple "out of office" type message that there is mail in the oversized mailbox to the normal mailbox. Absolute Nirvana would having the "out of office message" include the sender's name, the size of the email/attachment and the subject line. But if it is handled at the email client side, then the damage is already done - as the email had to be retrieved off the server at that point. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Jeff Pereira Sent: Saturday, July 26, 2003 9:44 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [IMail Forum] IMail Rule for Attachment Size If I am not mistaken this could probably be done on the email client side. Some email clients will allow you to retrieve header information only if a message is above a specified size.
