Lol, yeah, even if it was a 256KB pipe, that's still 2048kbit, 2mb pipes up and down the country, don't think I could give a toss about offline folders ;)

Keep in mind that PST's store mail in 2 formats (so 1 message stored twice), but I think that conversion is done on the client side. I have a number of users using Outlook in offline mode on the wrong end of a 256MB pipe that gets shared with lots of other traffic. Outlook, especially the newer versions, are fairly stingy with network traffic. -------------------------------------------------------------- Roger D.
