I'm not sure - presumably I could tell from the way the Outlook client
is set up to access Exchange?
Actually, I think my situation is more complex. I use Outlook as a
calendaring and contact tool, just don't want to use it as an email
client. Futhermore, I am a freelance consultant and Outlook/Exchange
is the only supported email environment at one of my clients. Because
I use Outlook for all my appointments and contacts, I don't want to
leave these on the server at this single client.
This means I have to set up Outlook to use a local PST file for
everything, including email. So the only way I can get my work email
from this organisation is to have Outlook open and downloading email,
and have TB access the local copy of Outlook and pull mail out of the
PST file.
This works okay (except for the fact that I have to remember to send
all emails immediately rather than putting them in the outbox) most of
the time. It is certainly better than using the mail import wizard
every time I want to get email out of Outlook and into TB. The main
problem I have now is that while invitations to meetings arrive at my
Outlook inbox, they don't get imported to TB. So I still need to
remember to check my Outlook inbox regularly.
To make matters worse, I have a second client that also uses
Outlook/Exchange, but they also have a domain set up to manage their
LAN (my first client doesn't). If I let them set up my laptop for
their domain, it causes all sorts of problems for connecting to my LAN
at home, or my first client, etc. So I am set up with minimal LAN
privileges at this second client and that means I can only access the
Exchange server via Outlook Web Access, which in turn means there is
no way at all to download my email from that client to TB, or even to
my laptop.
