MS Outlook-Working with Offline Folders
Working offline gives you access to your
information regardless of whether you are connected to your email
server. Offline folders are stored in the offline folders file. This
file is located on your computers hard drive and is available even
when the network is down. Outlook will automatically synchronize
your offline folders with the network folders the next time you
login to outlook while online.
| Open Outlook Choose
"Services" from the "Tools" menu.
Alternatively, you can right-click on the
Outlook icon on your desktop, and select
"Properties." |
 |
| While MS Exchange is selected
choose Properties. |
 |
| Choose the Advanced tab and then
select Offline Folder File Settings button to setup the
offline file |
 |
| If you wish to select an
alternative path to your offline folder, you may browse to it.
Otherwise, the default is fine. Click "OK." |
 |
| In "Advanced
Properties," make sure "Enable offline use" is
checked, and click "OK." |
 |
| Upon closing Outlook, you will
get the message at right. Click "OK." |
 |
| Synchronization will take a few
minutes . . . |
 |
All icons in the Outlook bar will now have two
blue arrows. This shows that you are using Offline Folders.
Anything that you do in Outlook while not connected to the
network will be updated automatically the next time you are
logged in to the network. |

 Grant Possibilities from IBM
Attention principals, PTA's, STC's! IBM has a grant program
through their employees/retirees who are associated with a school as
a parent or extended family member of a student. They contribute a small
cost of an item, and then IBM donates
the rest. This enables a recipient school to get a workstation, laptop, etc.
Check with your PTA or students to see if your school has IBM parents who
might be interested in participating in the program.
Below please find documents from IBM in Acrobat PDF format:
