Several .pst's & multiple deleted items

[Guest]

Running outlook 2002 on 1 pc, and 2003 on another.
(they arent being shared)

I have created several .pst's to help manage.

Each .pst created has it's own 'Deleted Items'.

Is there any way that when I delete items or folders, that they move to the
"main" (Personal Folder) 'Deleted Items' folder?

Each pst is a 'main pst' in its own right.
In what way is multiple current pst's helping you manage?
If you explained more fully your rational regarding organising it might
help.
BTW in case you did'nt realise OL2003 format pst is not readable by earlier
version OL

I have a salesperson who decided to store all is customer folderes in his
trash bin.

I found out about the 2GB limit the hard way in outlookXP.

I created several .pst's to help reduce some of this. They are broke down
alphabetically. ie: A-L.pst, M-N.pst, O-S.pst.....

I'm not trying to share the .pst's through the 2 machines. Just letting you
know the 2 versions I'm working with in case that matters.

Thanks!

Is it neccessary to keep all mail in the 'main pst' doesnt archiving help?
An archive can be opened within OL.
I dont believe there is anything you can do regarding deleted folders

Its not really necessary, but it's less 'clicks' for our sales staff. If
someday we move to client-server or exchange, will the .pst file have mor
unlimited size?

Thanks!

The use of a pst isnt supported over a network, it can lead to corruption
In exchange, which I dont use I believe you can use a local pst and the ost
on the network.
Size of pst depends on version of OL. ie 2003 has a theoretical unlimited
size
Dont know about ost sizes

If you move to Exchange, PSTs are unnecessary.
