Hi,
I've already searched for this numerous times, so bear with me. I have finally gotten Mail.app (both 1 and 2) to connect to the exchange server at my work. For some reason, it requires an IMAP or POP setup instead of Exchange, which I don't really understand, but that doesn't matter because at least it works. So I've got it set up as IMAP because that way I can use multiple computers and not mess it up. The problem is that there are all these extra folders (calenders, contacts, etc.) that Mail.app thinks are mailboxes, so whenever I log in and it searches for new mail it goes through each one of these, and it takes quite some time. My question: is there a way to eliminate these mailboxes from the search so that it only searches the inbox? Thanks fellas.... ahem, and/or ladies.
