Outlook SharePoint Lists and Alerts

Asked By: Trenton Hubbard Date: Jun 25, 2009 Category: Sharepoint Views: 209

I have a user that set up Outlook to subscribe to a Sharepoint list and
when he was cleaning up Outlook by deleting items from the SharePoint
List someone informed him that he was causing SharePoint to send out
messages to people subscribed to the same list.

Are the SharePoint list items in Outlook just a local copy? Why would
deleting messages from Outlook cause sharepoint to send messages?

If the user used <Actions>... <Connect to Outlook> to "subscribe", then
that user is actually deleting items in the list itself, which is why
users would receive alerts about items being deleted.

If the user used <Actions>...<View RSS Feed>, then, yes, they are only
viewing a copy of the sharepoint list.

So, it sounds like in this situation, the user possibly connected the
sharepoint list to his Outlook.
