Oh, and Chris is right. It is not connected at all to offline synchronization unless the user deletes everything while offline, but that would still be a user action.

Vesneski Sent: Monday, March 17, 2003 4:41 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: OST Issue Hi all, Actually, it is happening. People log on at another system, not using roaming profiles, and all their email goes away from the server. They go back to their 'normal' laptop or workstation and there is nothing in the email client. With that said, being new here, I am researching why this is happening. The user, when logging on, gets a message about creating an OST or a PST file. They usually click 'OK' or 'Yes' After that, the user gets their email dumped locally on the host they are logged onto. Is this due to POP? I have never seen this before... Thanks, Erik L.
