My pst created a new calendar.

[Guest]

In Outlook 2003, I created a pst to store my messages, off the corporate
server. The problems are: 1) The sent messages go to the server "sent"
folder instead of the pst "sent" folder. I occasionally get a "mailbox full"
message because the sent folder has filled up. 2) Deleted messages go to
the pst Delete folder, not the server Delete folder (where they would
automatically get permanently deleted when I close Outlook). 3) The pst
created a new calendar. Sometimes appointments go this calendar. Sometimes
to the one on the server. I only want one calendar - the one on the server.

In Outlook 2003, I created a pst to store my messages, off the corporate
server. The problems are: 1) The sent messages go to the server "sent"
folder instead of the pst "sent" folder. I occasionally get a "mailbox
full"
message because the sent folder has filled up.

Correct. Sent Messages go to the default message store. If you want them
to go to the PST,
a) set your corporate mail to be delivered to the PST, and keep frequent
backups since your mail won't be on the server anymore
-or-
b) Don't save your sent items and set up a rule to put a copy of the sent
items in your PST's sent items folder.

2) Deleted messages go to
the pst Delete folder, not the server Delete folder (where they would
automatically get permanently deleted when I close Outlook).

Correct. Deleted items go to the Deleted Items folder of the message store
the item was in.

3) The pst
created a new calendar. Sometimes appointments go this calendar.
Sometimes
to the one on the server. I only want one calendar - the one on the
server.

Correct. Meeting invites, when accepted, go into the meeting store which
holds the invite.

If you're that concerned about space on the server, tighten down the
Auto-Archive settings to not save as much mail and petition the IT
Department for a larger mailbox. If they say no, then tell your manager
that they are impeding your ability to work and you need a larger mailbox
size. If they still say no, tighten down the auto-archive settings more,
and make a habit of cleaning out large messages.
