Hi Lanwench,

b) PST files cannot be used with Offline Files in Windows, without a
registry hack, as far as I know.
"Lanwench [MVP - Exchange]"

PST file are not supported in "Offline Files", but I thought it works if you
change the ending of the file (e.g. to .txt)

If you change the name to "outlook.txt" the Offline files accept the file
(Windows checked only the ending).

If you open Outlook and select "show all files" (instead of "Personal Folder
..PST), then Outlook accept also this ".txt" as a PST file. Strange, but in
the past it works. I don´t know if this still works with the actual updates.

Hi!

How can I configure Outlook and Windows so that users have their PST
files on the Server. We use POP3 only. The idea is that laptop users
get their PST "offline" too and then syncronize when back on the LAN.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

PMD

Hi -

a) this is not supported
and
b) PST files cannot be used with Offline Files in Windows, without a
registry hack, as far as I know. There would be no merging of data,
either - it would be a wholesale replacement of one copy of the file, with
another one - and I don't recomend it.

If you have a large enough environment, you really ought to look into
Exchange server. You could get a hosted Exchange account from many
different providers....and this would be much better overall. POP3 is
really not suitable as a corporate mail protocol.
