Dear Roady,
Exchange Outlook

We have several user whose PST size more than 1GB, they
don't like to keep the Archive folder, so the PST is
increasing.
My question is - How about, if I use mail storage in
Exchange only, and the user check for the mail, where it
will be stored, like from home-how can he able to view his
mail.
If he using one more SMTP/POP account, then where is this
mails are stored under existing pst file?

I have checked one of the Exchange MVP he says, the
automatically "send/receive copy forwarding" settings in
Exchange only and there is nothing to do with outlook is
it correct?

What is OST - this is the one I am talking about keeping
mail in the server.

pls advice

Best Regards

Anver

Hi Anver,

If you store the messages in the Exchange database people can access it
remotely through Outlook Web Access, IMAP, POP3 or use VPN to connect to the
network and then use an Exchange connection. Either one will do but I do not
recommend the use of POP3 for this since the mails will then be downloaded
and removed from the Exchange server. There is an option so it won't happen
but this is a client setting and will be easily forgotten in home
configurations. Also the mailbox folderstructure isn't maintained with a
POP3 connection.

The automatic forwarding (as explained earlier) to another address can be
done through an Outlook rule or as on setting on the user object in Active
Directory U&C.
The security controlling automatic forwarding however is maintained on the
Exchange server;

The ost-file is nothing more than a local copy of the Exchange mailbox
enabling you to work off-line.
