We find that (at least on Win2K) Outlook will release the .pst files after some period of non-use. But so far I haven't figured out exactly what that period is, or any way to control it - (there was a .ini file that you could set on earlier releases). Any EXCHANGE experts out there who know more about how this works?
But yes, the only way to guarantee availability of the .pst files for backup is to close Outlook. -----Original Message----- From: Joshua S.
