Hi Brian,

Thanks for answering my query.

Is there any way by which the following issues can be taken care of when
using POP3 account in outlook 2003:

1) Syncronising sent items folder of POP3 account & Outlook by using some
plug-in, tool or utility?

2) If I send a mail directly from the web interface of POP3 account, the
sent mail gets downloaded in my inbox of the outlook. For eg. if I send a
mail directly from Gmail by opening it on the internet & send a mail. When i
do send/receive on outlook, then this sent mail gets downloaded into my inbox
of the outlook. How do I avoid this problem?

Also, could you pl. help me with using Hotmail in Outlook 2003. I have
successfully configured Hotmail with Outlook 2003 & I can send & receive
mails. If I want to change the location of the folder where my hotmail mails
are stored locally on the pc by Outlook, how do i do that. For eg. Hotmail
mails are locally stored by default in the C:\Documents and
Settings\user_name\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook\Personal
Folders(1).pst.

I want it to be changed to any other folder on drive D. How can I do that?

Your help will be highly appreciated & thanks in advance for your answers.

The problem I am facing is that all the Gmail messages (in inbox & in
sent box) have been downloaded into the outlook inbox. The sent
folder is not getting configured with the sent folder of Gmail.

Of course not. POP is one-way and the protocol has no concept of folders.

As per Gmail help, this is a known issue in outlook which can be
solved by configuring outlook to syncronise with the correspoding
folder in the Gmail.

Gmail Help doesn't mention synchronizing Outlook's Sent Items folder with
the Gmail Sent Mail folder anywhere I can find. Please post a URL to an
article where you believe it says that's possible.

The problem is I am not able to find any such way to do that in
Outlook 2003.

Because you can't, at least with POP access.

I was able to configure Gmail POP3 with Outlook Express & there was
no such issue.

Outlook Express can't save sent items in the Gmail Sent Mail folder, either.
No POP client can.
