Best Practice, POP to Pocket PC
|
|
| Harry Hudini 2002-10-05, 8:39 pm |
| Hi,
My director has gone out and purchased a nice pocketpc so that he can use it
to collect email from work via POP3, using the INBOX app on the device.
The problem is that he is using GPRS which is charged by megabyte here in
the uk. Due to this we need a way to prevent him from downloading
attachments when using the pocketpc. Now, I dont think pop3 has an anti
attachment feature so I was thinking of limiting the size of the email to
something small like <100k.
However, this should only apply to email downloaded from the Exch2k server
via pop, not to his main exch2k account (his desktop if you like) which
should function normally.
Q: Can this be done ? It must be a fairly common requirement i would think.
Or should we maybe look at a different email app on the pocket pc, maybe one
that supports IMAP ?
Let me know your thoughts
Olly

| Make a folder called "large emails". Use Outlook to make a rule to move all
messages larger than 100k to the "large emails" folder. POP3 clients can
only see the inbox folder, so he will only be popping 100k and smaller
emails.

| Will that run as a server-side rule?
