We seem to have a problem with users that log into a
workstation that they have never logged into before.
Basically, the default NEW MAIL location is set to a PST
local to their c: drive. So, when they open up Outlook to
check thier mail. All MAILBOX, INBOX mail slowly
dissapears and is moved to the local pst file. Once, we
configure the users Outlook profile on that machine and
change the default NEW MAIL location to the
Exhange/Mailbox/Inbox it works fine. I've heard about PRF
files, but I am unfamiliar with configuring them. All I
want is for the default NEW MAIL location to auto default
to their Exchange account INBOX and not a PST.

thanks,
paul

Microsoft Office site) for your particular version.
