I have a question i hope someone can answer for me. I am removing a server
from someones home (server 2000). There are 2 workstations connected to this
server and the mail is stored on the server (in exchange i believe). The
person no longer wants a server setup to make things easier for him to deal
with. I need to get his mail, contacts, ect. off the server before i take it
down. Is there an easy way of doing this so that I wont lose anything. I want
to setup local POP on his machines and just use psts. Any help would be great.
 
If it is in fact Outlook/Exchange, just export the data into personal
folders - or change the "default delivery location" in the profile to
a personal folder file and it will be moved locally for you.

You'll probably need to delete and recreate the local user profile in
Outlook once the server is gone, though - Outlook can be kinda finicky
that way ;-) But it's no problem if you know where the pst or backup
is...

Always more words than help ;-)
