Outlook 2000 - Personal Folders c: to Network - How?
- Thread starter arfjay
- Start date
Quit Outlook
Move the files
Start Outlook
Tell Outlook where to look for the pst files
However, I advise against it because Outlook performance may suffer. What I do is to keep my main and archive pst files on the network but use my C: for a small local pst file. I keep both on the Outlook Shortcut Bar and in the Folder View. I let Outlook use the local pst file for normal email activity and I move emails that should be kept to folders in the pst file on the network drive. My local pst file stays small and fast and the network pst files are kept current and are backed up. I archive to a network based pst file every 3 months or to to keep the network pst file around 500meg because Outlook has trouble with large pst files, especially over 1gig
