TITLE   :XCLN: Deliver New Mail Moves All Messages (Old and New)

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Exchange Windows 3.x client, versions 4.0, 5.0 
 - Microsoft Exchange Windows NT client, versions 4.0, 5.0 
 - Microsoft Exchange Windows 95/98 client, versions 4.0, 5.0

SUMMARY
=======

Microsoft Exchange users have the option for new messages to be delivered to
either their Mailbox (on the server) or their Personal Folders (into the user's
PST).

To toggle this setting, a user would select Tools, Options, Delivery, and toggle
the "Deliver new mail to the following location" between "Mailbox" and "Personal
Folders".

When there are existing messages in the Mailbox and the user changes the "Deliver
new mail to the following location" to "Personal Folders", all messages, both
read and unread, are individually moved to the Personal Folder Inbox. This is
different than expected, since existing mail is moved as well as new mail.

MORE INFORMATION
================

This is by design. If the user does not want to migrate all messages to the
personal folders, they may set up a filter to migrate only "unread" messages.

Additional query words: Personal Folders Migrate Delivery
