When configuring Connector for Outlook to create a package, the option in the Mail tab to set IMAP Folder Name Mapping Options has the following choices:
- Outlook style (Inbox,Drafts,Deleted Items, Sent Items)
- Communications Express style (Inbox,Drafts,Trash, Sent)
The question came up: what if you had previously chosen the "Outlook style" and now you want to change to the "Communications Express style?"
One way is to re-run the package by changing the option but that might not be convenient. Is there a way to modify the configuration to change the Mapping option without re-running the package?
The answer is yes. To get the Communications Express style folders, here are the steps:
- Make a backup copy of the "C:\Documents and Settings\username\Local Settings\Application Data\Sun\Outlook Connector\sjoc_folders.map" file.
- Copy the contents of "C:\Documents and Settings\username\Local Settings\Temp\Sun Outlook Connector\uwc_folders.map".
- Paste the contents into the "C:\Documents and Settings\username\Local Settings\Application Data\Sun\Outlook Connector\sjoc_folders.map" file, that is, overwrite it.
- Delete the pst file for profile. (Profile Properties | Advanced tab ). The default location is "C:\Documents and Settings\username\Local Settings\Application Data\Sun\Outlook Connector."
- Log in to verify the new profile and to see the desired change.
