Is it possible to configure outlook so that it saves incoming email to a nominated folder on a server rather than the local drive or in the case of NT to the user profile?

Thanks in advance.

If it is Outlook Express then go to Tools menu select Options find the maintainence tab select it look for "Store Folder" Command button click it & you'll be given the option to change the folder you can specify the UNC to point to a share here to store the messages on a network folder.

With OE you can't specify to put the information store to a network drive...you may only specify a local drive to retain the store....if you want to have the store on a network drive my recommendations would be to have Outlook installed and have your personal folders on a network drive..M$ made these possible as one is an "express" version and one is made for the business world.
