Outlook 2003 / Exchange server with two PCs

[owner]

Question: In an environment using Outlook 2003 with an Exchange
server, is the following scenario normal?

1. User logs into his/her "main" PC, opens Outlook, all looks as it
should.
2. User logs into a shared PC, opens his/her Outlook; only emails
received AFTER the user logged onto said PC are seen.
3. User logs back into his/her "main" PC, opens Outlook, and all old
emails have disappeared and any shared mailboxes that were added have
also been disconnected.

I've seen quite a few articles online about how to sync Outlook
between two PCs, but nothing specific to this issue.

#2 is common if they user is using a PST on the other computer.

Are you using roaming profiles?

Yes, using a PST. Roaming profiles, no.

Would this be solved by putting the PST on a network share that the
user is automatically mapped to at login?

PSTs aren't supported on a network. Why are you using pst's and not the
exchange mailboxes?

Sorry, my mistake - OST, not PST. User said that "live" messages that
should be on the server (and not archived to a personal folder) are
going missing when switching from one computer to another.

If you use cashed mode on 2 computers you'll see weird behavior. His main
machine should be cached mode, the others in classic mode.

Turned off Cached mode on the second computer, user said that he is
experiencing same problem (all mail in his Inbox disappears from main
computer, appears on second one when he first launches Outlook, when
he logs back into his main computer the emails in his Inbox are still
gone).
