Ghost .PSTs in Outlook 2003
in [Outlook]

From: nkee1229 on 27 Apr 2010 17:02 I have old emails archived in a PST file that I need to access, in addition to the ones that I receive daily in my Mailbox. Isn't the purpose of having archives or .PST files to get them off your exchange server when that gets too full? I have multiple PST files because I've archived various items from two different laptops in the past. And yet, I know I SHOULD be able to close the .PST files, however, that doesn't seem to be the case...

Slowly and painfully, more and more essential information trickles in. I know of no good reason you need to use PST file while running against Exchange Server. In fact, most Exchange Administrators frown on it. Exchange Server has far more robust archiving capability than the local client does. At any rate, none of this has any bearing on your initial post and I'd suggest you discuss your issues with your Exchange Administrator and let him or her figure out what you want to do. None of the known reasons users get ghost PST files apply when you're running against Exchange Server. -- Russ Valentine "nkee1229" <nkee1229(a)discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:6EAFC834-F8C5-4FAB-AC9E-33AD74D5BA22(a)microsoft.com... >I have old emails archived in a PST file that I need to access, in addition > to the ones that I receive daily in my Mailbox.
