Forgot to add;
This was in a discussion where a user tried to create an ost-file bigger
than 2GB with Outlook 2003 and Exchange 5.5.
I first suggested to delete the original ost-file so it got rebuild and
later to recreate the mail profile; neither worked.
Diane then came with the remark that a Exchange 5.5 would be the case.
I have to admit that I haven't tested it myself.
