Since the last server crash over at our company my install of outlook starts
with this message. If I log into my account from a freshly installed system I
get the same message when I start outlook.

Now I have the following questions;

What is wrong that I get these messages?
How can I get rid of them again?

Thanks in advance,

Rob
 
The message means that an Exchange restore was done server side, but it was
done in such a way that they brought back an empty database (aka dial-tone).
When a restore is done this way, the *.OST file on each users computer is
out of sync with the server. Outlook does this in order for the end user to
start Outlook in offline mode and export the contents of the OST to a PST
and then delete the OST.
