network pst file problems 1

[mickyjune26]

My Outlook freezes when I send E-Mails. After it sends it, it starts working again, but sometimes gives me the error:

Outlook failed to save the information to the pst file(which is on my z: network drive). You may have lost unsaved information.

Sometimes it keeps chugging, sometimes I have to reboot my computer to get access to the pst file.

It's happening on all the computers on the network.

It seems that this started three weeks after net folders was impented. I've disabled net folders and deleted the folders since then. I office on one computer but it still freezes (on that computer it also sometimes freezes while composing messages).

Putting PST's on a network drive is a very very bad idea. Outlook is constantly modifying that file at every single change. You risk a lot by doing that, with major hangups, sooner or later they will corrupt. Keep it local and make a backup at the end of the day to the network with a simple batch file or so. The solution is out there.
