OST files are specific to a particular MAPI profile. If a user logs on to another machine, the OST gets created for that user (if Offlife folders is enabled.) If roaming profiles are enabled, the user will get an OST file at every machine he/she logs in to. *Normally* the OST files are not part of the roaming profile. > I am under the impression this happens because the new > profile does not have an OST file created for the user. > With the creation of the OST file the users email is now > off of the server.

The mail SHOULD NOT be removed from the server, only mirrored to the OST. _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
