Hi, any help is mostly appreciated. I have created a
local .pst file where I put all my email to avoid running
out of space on the exchange server. However, the
reminders or flags (follow up, read, etc...) don't work on
the local folder. I've been told that them to work the
email/tasks need to be left on the exchange server, OR the
user needs admin rights since the flags and reminders use
the xchange server's time and date.

Is there a work around for this?
Thanks,
Guillermo
 
Reminders will only fire from your default Inbox, Calendar, Tasks or
Contacts folder in the store where you get your email delivered
unless you use a 3rd party addin.
 
Outlook fires reminders only for items in your default Inbox, Contacts, Calendar, and Tasks folders. To get reminders from other folders, you must use a third-party tool. Reminder Manager (http://www.slovaktech.com/remindermanager.htm) is a client application that makes it possible for Outlook to fire reminders from any calendar, contacts, mail, or tasks folder visibile in the Folder List, including those in Public Folders.

Another client application, Important Dates Plus (http://www.infoware.ca/content/infoframe.htm?imprtdat.asp), stores reminders in a database and allows the user to set recurring reminders on an item in any folder, including Public Folders, and designate which people should be notified of the reminder. A separate program queries the database and sends out the reminders as email messages.
