Windows 10: Signing out of the Exchange server

Hello,


Hopefully this is the right place to ask this; I think it is generic enough to work as a Windows question. I've been having an ongoing issue with my email being deleted from my personal computer. I know that, for whatever reason, Outlook will do this by default with any email that is over 12 months old. I also know it synches this with the MS server. I turned the retention to "All", restored the deleted email from a backup of the Outlook file, and Microsoft deleted the contents of two folders anyway. This needs to stop.


So, how do I prevent Windows from syncing my personal data with their server? I do not want my data on the Exchange server and I do not want Windows to delete any data from my personal computer. The very fact that Microsoft does this, without my explicit permission, is in my opinion criminal It is data theft and I need to figure out how to stop it from happening. I did call Microsoft "support" and spoke with a so-called technician, but found the whole thing completely worthless and a huge waste of time. They also saw fit to close the call without resolving anything. A second-level support person was also suppose to call me, but of course never did.


So, does anyone know how to turn off my WIndows connection with the Exchange server so my data is no longer being "synced," or in my view stolen and deleted? And, does anyone know why only two folders in Outlook have had their contents removed and how to stop that from happening again?


* I do not want any of my data copied to the Exchange server; this, in my opinion, is data theft. So, how do I opt out of data syncing?

* I do not care about having my data available to share between my Microsoft devices as I don't have MS devices other than my PC

* How do I permanently and reliably stop the deletion of my personal emails from my Outlook folders even though I've turned retention to "all" in the settings?



Thanks for any help anyone would be able to offer. To say that I've been completely livid with Microsoft over the past few weeks would be a vast understatement.

Syncing with Exchange Server & PC

I have a Samsung Blackjack 2 running WM6 that is syncing with my corporate exchange server. I would like to also sync some files directly with my PC's (one at home and one at work). I want this to be automatic not manual drag and drop. When I connnected
the BJ2 to my work PC, it started the Activesync syncronization setup wizard. In the sync options, it lists all of the information types that I am already syncing with the exchange server and has them selected with the source listed as MS Exchange. At the
top of the wizard window is this note:

"Your Smartphone is already set up to synchronize with Microsoft Exchange. Items you select will be synchronized with all computers."

My first question is: Will this cause my contacts, calendar, email and tasks that are syncing directly with the Exchange server to be double synced through my work PC? When I try to uncheck them it warns me that it will cause them to be deleted from my
device -- obviously not the approach I want to take. Does it recognized that the PC and the BJ2 are connecting to the same exchange server? Or, will it simply use my PC's network connection instead of the wireless connection to perform exchange server syncronization
(there is an option on the second step of the wizard to enabel/disable wireless connection will connected to the PC. I do not need to sync my mail folders to my PC. I just want to sync the non-exchange related stuff.



Second question: It does not list "Files" as one of the information types to be synced (like my old Dell AXIM PPC does). Why doesn't it list Files as a type of information to sync? My AXIM would sync all of the contents of a designated folder to/from my
PC but I do not see this as an option in the Sync Setup Wizard (so far). Other than the 4 Exchange Server types, it only lists "Favorites" and "Media". What happed to "files".



BTW, is it just me or is the built in help and online help for Activesync lacking any detail, especially relating to exchange server info.

 

Crash on a server Exchange 2003

Hi guys!
We had a crash on a server Exchange 2003. After that we made a copy of the mdbdata. Of course we reinstalled it. Now we're trying to mount the mailbox store (Priv1.edb 5 GB) but we receive this error:
The database files in this storage is inconsistent.
Next, following the MS article n. 327156 Eseutil.exe says that we have a "Dirty shutdown" database
"Eseutil /p" remains in "stand by" on "repair damaged database" step at 90% (the day after was still at 90%).
