But that doesn't let me set a reminder on an e-mail in the IMAP based OST. What's the harm in that?!!Īnd note that I'm fully aware that I can have a SEPARATE local PST (after all, I still have one tied to the one POP server). I just want to use IMAP to get the data from the server into that file. I'll take care of the file on my local machine. Just give me an option to use IMAP with a Better slap them down a bit for using IMAP! Heck, if they want to keep the same security measures, etc. Server, so we best not let anyone think they don't need Exchange. But why can't Outlook do what Outlook does? It's almost like we're being penalized because IMAP is just a bit too close to having an Exchange See my local calendar from the web e-mail interface.

The user experience in Outlook need to be any different? If the extra information (in fact ALL of the information) for the POP e-mail account is being stored in the local PST file, why can't I do the same thing with IMAP. However, on my on hosted domain with unlimited storage, I like to take advantage of the fact that IMAP lets me leave the messages up there and check my e-mail remotely from a web interface if I wish. In my old RoadRunner account where Time Warner had a storage limit on the e-mail server, I never changed off of POP since leaving messages on the server would quickly cause bounces to Most ISP mail servers support using either POP or IMAP protocols.

That doesn't change the fact that it COULD have been done differently, and could still be fixed. I'm sure there are some arguments to be had over the security features of not allowing migration of OSTs and just requiring synchronization from the servers, but Really a developer (Microsoft) decision and not necessarily due to a limitation of IMAP. Leaving out the obvious fact that Microsoft wants to sell Exchange servers, the choice to make an IMAP OST be ONLY a cache of the server and not extend it beyond that is Up (with a date/time) like they can do on an Exchange mailbox or a POP3 mailbox. You will change above settings to 'Files and Folders' in 'Finder' but this will make it work in Outlook without having to configure or use MacMail.

doesn't change the fact that users of Outlook expect to be able to have calendars in their Outlook mailboxes and to be able to do things like flagging a message for follow this will work with Outlook directly if you instead click on 'Mail' in the far left pane under Library, then drag the 'Create New Outlook Mail Message' to the right pane. The fact that the IMAP protocol doesn't support calendars, etc. The short answer here unfortunately comes across as the somewhatĬommon IT explanation that can be summarized as "It doesn't work that way because we didn't design it to work that way." Unfortunately that doesn't really address the usage case of the end user that doesn't really care whether or not the designer I came across this topic after doing a search for "when will outlook support calendar for imap mailboxes" and since it's relatively recent, figured I'd add to the discussion.
