894.0. "New to Exchange and I have a couple of questions" by CHOWDA::GLICKMAN (writing from Newport,RI) Thu Feb 20 1997 05:52

    Couple of questions.  I finished my migration from ALL-IN-1 to
    Exchange.
     
    Now if I have some folders on my laptop can someone clue me into 
    what directory on my hard drive they are stored in.
    I'd like to get this archived stuff on to a zip drive.
    
    Also, one of the folders I have had 9 items in it.  Now when I click
    on that folder nothing appears in the usual box on the right listing
    the subjects of the mail messages.  There seems to be an icon on the
    bottom right looking like an funnel with the smaller part on the bottom
    and 3 sets of parallel dashes next to it.  What does that mean?
    
    Is there a user's guide to Exchange?
    	
    Thanks for any input.

Check out Tools->Services.  In there is a list of all of your off-line
folders, as well as the Microsoft Exchange Server.  For the off-line
folders just click on them and click on Properties, and the Path (ie,
the complete file spec) will show up.  For the local copies of the on-line
folders, click on Microsoft Exchange Server, click on Properties, then
click on the Advanced tab, then click on Off-line Folder File Settings.
(Did Microsoft want to hide this or what?)  This will give you the Path
name for these folders.

Wander around in here for awhile.  Check out the Public Folders.  But as
far as I know, there is no specific document which addresses newbie 
qustions.  But hey, this is a Microsoft product with a GUI, which of course
means that it is so blindingly obvious that you won't need a manual...*

The funnel means that you have a filter set on the folder.  Select the
folder, then check the "View/Filter..." menu.

Howdeeeeee,

I have some documents a fellow Exchanger built for a customer.  Can pack them up with ZIP and 
email them to you.  Exchange/Schedule+ primers through intermediate use.

They're big unzipped, 4Mb, 5Mb and 9Mb.
