Outlook 2007 - Must everything go through my Exchange account?

[abbyqueue]

Hi everyone. I have Outlook 2007 set up on my PC with all of my email accounts. Most of them are POP/SMTP except for my work account, which is an Exchange account.

I recently noticed that whenever I sent an outgoing email, even though I have Outlook set to use the same account that the email was addressed to, a copy of the sent email gets put into my Exchange's Sent Items folder (as well as my Personal Folders' Sent Items folder).

I checked my work's webmail to see if the IT admins could then see my sent emails and there they were in that Sent Items folder as well.

I guess I don't understand Exchange and how it works. I don't want my IT admins at work to be able to see any of my personal email -- does everything have to go through Exchange?

Thanks!

Howdy:

Is this a work computer you are referring to?

No, it's my personal computer at home.

Best solution would be to check with your IT guys and have them change the sttings on the server.

First thing I would do is check the "outgoing server" settings for each of your personal accounts.

The IT people aren't going to do anything about it, unfortunately.

All of my accounts' outgoing server settings are set to my ISP's outgoing server except for the Exchange account.

Did you ask? If this is a personal computer (not work supplied), you could try an invasion of privacy arguement.

I'll try, but they were reluctant to supply the server settings for this account anyway.

But is this standard for an Exchange account? For everything to go through it and not the other accounts?

Also, if items are located in my Personal Folders and not under my Exchange folder, they can't see anything in there, right?

All they should be able to see is what is in the Exchange Folder. To be doubly sure, I would post this in the networking forum and let the guru's there have a look.
