Copying email messages using Outlook rules
Mitch Tulloch, ITworld.com

I was messing around with my Outlook rules the other day and discovered
something interesting, namely that if you don't watch what you're doing,
you might end up with multiple copies of some of your emails! I also
that sometimes having multiple copies of my emails actually makes things
easier.

Osterman Report: The Advantages of a Hosted Messaging Security Solution
http://cwflyris.computerworld.com/t/2904180/158421455/102333/0/
Messaging management is becoming more difficult thanks to the growing
malware threat. At the same time, messaging system administrators are
under enormous pressure to push their messaging infrastructures to do
more than ever, including archiving messaging content for regulatory
compliance, archiving to support legal discovery and for overall
litigation support, providing services to a growing body of mobile
users, and ensuring continuity by making the messaging system more
reliable, and managing policies for message encryption. Hosted
solutions, such as those offered by Microsoft Exchange Hosted Services,
can elegantly address the growing array of messaging requirements and
threats, and can do so without unnecessarily adding to the cost of
current messaging management activities and the complexity of the IT
environment. Learn more in this new report.
