Where are the Inbox, Sent Items, Drafts,
etc. files kept in Outlook. Earlier today
I copied one user's PST file to another's
in the belief that the PST file contained
just the Contacts, which is what I wanted.

Now, my client reports that the two users
of that system have their e-mails combined.

How would copying one user's contact
folder to the other cause that?

Thanks,
Bill
 
In the PST file (it can contain mail, contacts, calendar, tasks, journal,
..etc.)
 
What you're telling me, Neo, is that I completely
clobbered user number 2's Inbox, Drafts and
Sent Items?

If you copied over the existing PST file, yep.

All of the communications I had on the subject referred to
the "Contacts Folder". "Folder" is common terminology on
Windows systems to mean either a node or file in a directory
tree. If the PST is in fact a proprietary "database", then also
consistent with Windows and Office a database would
normally consist of tables, as one would find in a mdb file
in Access. I simply interpreted the terminology to be
consistent with that of most of Windows and Office.
