I´m using outlook 2003 with an IMAP account.

Outlooks standard behavior is to save drafts on a local special folder,
called "drafts".

Instead, I would like Outlook to save drafts on a "draft" folder placed on
my IMAP account.

I searched google, and it seems that what I want to attain is impossibile...
maybe any of you know some kind of work-around or solution?

Thank you for you help,

Gianluca Bosco

The only way to achieve this as far as I know is to not have local folders
at all and work entirely from your IMAP folders.

Hi Gianluca,

Unfortunately Outlook does not allow you to do this. Outlook 2007 will
still now allow you to do this either.

I would like very much to work entirely from my IMAP folder, on my outlook
2003 client.

But how can I do that?

Your feedback is very much appreciated!

Sorry Patrick, I guess I misunderstood what you meant

You mean that outlook 2007 will allow me to do that?

Or "no go" even with outlook 2007?

Unfortunately, I am not in a place that lets me work out the details of the
procedure, and at my office, I am not permitted access to these newsgroups.
Perhaps someone elase can provide the specific steps.

for future reference, to those having the same problem as me:

I found a 3rd party application called "Insight Connector". Such an
application claims to be able to "redirect" Outlook special folders on an
IMAP account. I just downloaded it, and I´m going to give it a try...

Let´s see whether it helps...

Gianluca Bosco

Thanks! Stupid typo.

There is no way to work only off of an IMAP server with Outlook without
3rd party tools. Outlook will always create a Personal Folder file
locally to store contacts, appts, notes, and the special folders (sent
items, outbox, draft).

It can't be done. IMAP folders can never be the delivery location and thus
never the default folders.
