In reply to a post by Spasch:
Wikipedia has a reasonably simple explanation if you ignore the RFC links. smile

Hi, many thanks for the link.

It appears to be a good "generalised" description, without providing any specific detail!!


I've gone into Windows Live Help & that is even less useful!!!

Obviously, I'm loathed to go in & "muck-about" with my existing settings in case I end up losing all of my existing emails!!

Did you investigate:

John:

Can you configure it to 'leave a copy on the server', then just configure another account to access the server a couple of minutes after the user? Might have to think about how long is too long. You wouldn't want new mail hitting the server, and being taken straight to the second account.

Sorry, the discussion got diverted onto IMAP, rather than my original request.

However to clarify what I do on my own account (using Thunderbird):-

a) Set up a totally separate, but hidden Email A/c (e.g. [email protected])

b) Set up TB to automatically create a bcc using the Copy-Sent address.

c) Set up TB NOT to save sent messages.

d) Set up a script so that any received Copy-Sent Messages are transferred to the SENT-Box.

e) Configure TB to leave messages (both "normal" & Copy-Sent accounts) on the Server for upto to 30 days.

Providing that I use every one of my PCs within a 30 day period (chosen to cover holidays etc), then automatically I receive a copy of every incoming Emails to EACH PC/Lappy - but I also receive a copy of EACH outgoing email into EACH Sent-Box.

As you can see the Key requirement is to be able to set up the automatic bcc - which is easy in TB, but unable to do it within Win-Live!


Notes:-
1) the reason why it needs to be a bcc is to prevent it becoming "known" &, hence, prevent my SENT-Box from receiving spam or Reply-All responses, etc.

2) The time duration held on the Server is a compromise to not over-loading the Server but, equally, allowing sufficient time to cover things such as holidays.

3) The above address example is not a valid address (obviously).

How do you mean "hidden" ? Any email addy only used as BCC: and never used elsewhere is always hidden from others, except itself. Presume you mean private and undisclosed.

There is no way to auto generate a BCC: in Outlook Express, so I'd expect WLM is the same.

Yes there is http://ajsystems.com/oequicktools/qtorder.html
Automatic BCC Tool (non-visible tool)

* The Auto BCC Tool will add a B.C.C. address to all outgoing mail messages. This is often used for mail audit purposes.
* There is no other way to automatically add a BCC to mail in Outlook Express.

Nice! I did mean within OE itself, not paying for an add-on.

It would have meet OP's requirements, if there was also a WLM version. frown

???

A link to a WLM add-on? Sorry, I missed that! I've only noticed your links to OE & Outlook add-ons!
