Saving/Reading Mail in both Outlook and Pipeline

If you read your mail in Pipeline when traveling between campuses and home but also use Outlook in your office, you may find it a challenge to keep track of your messages. Did you download it in your office, at home, in Pipeline, in Outlook? This search for messages can be frustrating and time-consuming! You can solve this dilemma by setting your Outlook to download a COPY of your messages. This means that when your Outlook downloads your messages, it brings down a copy of the messages and leaves the originals in your Pipeline mail account. With this option in place, you can read your mail on your office computer in Outlook as usual but you can also access the same messages in Pipeline from home or from a different campus location.

To configure Outlook to download a copy of your messages but leave the originals in Pipeline:

  1. Open Outlook
  2. From the menu bar at the top click on Tools - E-Mail Accounts...
  3. This will start a wizard. Click next to the View or change existing email accounts option and then the Next button
  4. Your mail.ccri.edu address should be highlighted. Click on the Change button on the right to access your e-mail settings
  5. Click on the More Settings... button on the bottom right of the Internet E-Mail Settings window
  6. Click on the Advanced tab
  7. Under the Delivery section click next to Leave a copy of messages on the server. You should see a checkmark appear in the little box

    graphic of the Save message on server option
  8. Click on OK to save the change. Close out of the wizard.

From now on your mail will download to your Outlook account but a copy of all messages will also stay in Pipeline. Just remember that if you choose this option that you will need to periodically go into Pipeline and delete any old messages so that you don't go over quota in your mailbox.

For more help with these features, please contact one of the IT Instructional Support team (Norm Grant, Gene Grande or Linda Beith) or faculty mentors Tony Basilico or Kathy Beauchene.
