Microsoft Outlook 2000

NOTE: These procedures apply only if you have installed Outlook with the Internet Mail Only option. To determine your installation type, on the Help menu click About Microsoft Outlook. In About Microsoft Outlook you should see "Internet Mail Only" if you have the Internet Mail Only option installed.

SUMMARY

If you are using Microsoft Outlook 2000 in the Internet Mail Only mode and the Internet Mail Access Protocol 3 (IMAP), Net Folders do not update.

MORE INFORMATION

Microsoft Outlook 2000 supports the Internet Mail Access Protocol 4 (IMAP). This open Internet e-mail standard uses server-based mail storage. Because its storage is server-based, there are differences between it and other e- mail protocols.

Even though Net Folders in Outlook 2000, work with an improved Rules Wizard, the Rules Wizard does not have the functionality to process Net Folder updates when using an IMAP e-mail server.
