Connecting to a pst over a network often results in a corrupt pst and is not
recommended. Storing it in a roaming profile that gets downloaded everytime
the user logs in (and uploaded when they log off) can be slower than
creating a new pst each time if the mailboxes are very large.

Web access would probably be better for roaming users.

I am trying to use Outlook 2003 with IMAP and roaming users (200 of
them). To put all the IMAP setting into a location that will be deleted
every time a user logs outs so that they need to start over every time
from scratch, is either a bug or a deliberate road block. I really hope
it is a bug and that a hot fix will come out for this very soon. This
issue is stopping us from rolling out OFFICE 2003.

you'll need to edit the path in the registry, but it's not very

they often revert back to the old location.

Hi,
Im having problems moving some of my pst-files from the default
location
(in profile) to an alternative network folder.
I can move the default Outlook.pst without any problems. But I
have also
got two IMAP accounts (with their own pst-files). I can move these
files
to my
alternative location, but when I start Outlook it creates two new
files
in
the default folder and it ignores the two files that I have moved.
What can I do to make these pst-files (for my IMAP accounts)
behave like
the default pst-file?
Best regards,
/LS
