Location of ".ost" file
 

By default, the OST will be present in the location: C:\Documents and
Settings\Username\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook.

If you do not find it here, please search for *.OST and make sure that you
include hidden files and folders.

Hope this helps!!!

I have a problem with outlook, I get the message saying that I'm using an
old copy of my Offline Folder File (.ost). Exit Outlook, delete the .ost
file, and restart Outlook. A new file will be automatically created the
next time you initiate a send/receive.

The problem I have is where is this file located so I can delete it

Thanks

I also received the same error message. I want to keep all the email in the
..ost file that is identified as old. I don't want to create a new file. I
also can no longer synchronize with my company's exchange server. It seem
that i have lost the ability to synchronize. How can this be restored?

Thank you,

Brad

Are you still working for that company? Have you asked the Exchange admin
how to get the credentials to authenticate?
