No FAQ but 1. Depending on the setting used, PSTs don't like being over 2gb before needing attention 2. If left stored locally and the PC/Laptop goes TU your knackered 3. Slow response if used over a network (IIRC MS don't recommend the use of PST over a network) 4. Yet another place for Emails to be stored 5. Not easy searchable if a FOI request is made 6. Outside the scope of a Email retention policy 7. Can eat up available disc space with ease if not controlled, sometime users/clients/customer/staff dont realise. 8. Almost the same as 2, If emails are stored in PSTs and users delete important emails, they are not easy recoverable because they may not be backed up! HTH John
