This may seem a bit unusual, but i'd like to hear from some of the experts regarding this...
I recently discovered i can click and drag a text file into an outlook folder and it be stored within my mailbox. Outlook recognizes them as text files. OWA recognizes them as attachments.
I'm wondering if this is an OK thing to do with Exchange? To click and drag to store text files straight into an Exchange Mailbox? Is this any different than Exchange storing emails with attachments?
The reason i'm asking is that we have an old email system we've decommissioned and all emails were converted to .txt files. We have had some requests to have access to these files which for most, we have my document redirection that we copy these files too.
Well, we're having to deal with some "special cases." We have users that only use workstations with generic accounts, so to grant the generic accounts access to these text files obviously means everyone using that can access. Which all that is irrelevant to my question...
Does anyone forsee any issues with Exchange being used to store straight data text files? Or any file for that matter that's not an email?
Thanks,
JB
