Your problem is not with Outlook or on the desktop. Your issues are your DR procedures for Exchange. You need to look at and evaluate your DR procedures and find out what went wrong. At the worst, you should have been able to get everything back from the last backup.

OK, first I have to say that I'm not an exchange expert. I'm not the exchange admin for our company so I am quite the newbie here. Here's the story: Last week our one and only exchange server crashed and we were without email for most of the week. All clients were setup to look at the server for email, no local pst files. So, when the server went down, all inbox, sent items, calendar, contacts, etc were gone. The admin at corporate, in another state, rebuilt the server (I think) but was not able to restore every one's mail back to pre-crash status. We were missing attachments, some email... When my remote users dialed in to get new mail, they synced with a nearly empty server and poof, no more old/saved mail. We were able to restore most of our saved mail but there is a lot gone and we accept that. What I would like to learn is how can I set up our Outlook clients so that if our email server crashes again, we don't lose all of our saved mail and related stuff. Most Outlook clients are Outllok 2000 with some XP sprinkled in for good measure.
