Title: RE: Need Feed Back Please

ummm...  are you lost?  OST's are so easy it's laughable.  If they aren't working, you can blow them away and recreate them by re-synching.  PST's are so not in the same category.    Missy ----- Original Message ----- From: Abercrombie, Sherry To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Sent: Wednesday, May 01, 2002 9:52 AM Subject: RE: Need Feed Back Please IMHO .pst = Bad idea, but a necessary evil (unfortunately) .ost = Very Very Bad idea, causes many problems, don't use them, they can cause users to lose mail if not setup properly..... -----Original Message----- From: Snook, Kevin S (ITD) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, May 01, 2002 8:32 AM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: Need Feed Back Please "like a .pst but better" - NO! They are exactly the same structure and are as prone to problems as .psts. However, with .psts you have a choice (i.e. you don't have to use them) but with .osts you don't. Many people that use .osts will tell you that they are sometimes as much of a PITA as .psts. My company converts .osts to .psts and we do a lot of it!

(Yuk). Now you are switching from the Darkside, Think outside the box and use .ost's. They are offline file, like a .pst but better. You don't have to back them up and if they get trashed you just recreate them. They are great because mobile users can still read there email from the road. I know Exchange is a POP3 server also but why not use it correctly.
