Well, I think you are taking it too literally. While PST files themselves have some unique problems, the real basis as to why PST=BAD is that storing email on local storage systems is not good. This is not good for the same reasons why you would not have someone store their files on their hard drive... They should be stored on a file server. As such, email should be stored on an email server and not a local hard drive.
IMAP4, while is not as good of a solution as OWA, is better than POP3 in that email folders can be stored on the server. Aaron -----Original Message----- From: Depp, Dennis M.

I see a chapter on why not to use .pst files, but nothing against using POP3. I dismissed the comment of POP3=Administor Slothfulness. I understand POP3=PST if you are using Outlook, but there are other email clients that support POP3 and do not use PST files.

I've been poking around the site and have not been able to find it. Searched for "FAQ" and for "POP3" and neither search turned up anything.
