David H said:Is it possible to use Outlook in an Exchange environment without having a
local PST file? A question came up in another newsgroup which makes wonder
if
its possible. (Although intuition is saying no.)
David H said:Over in the Access newsgroup, I conversation came up wherein the poster
mentioned that his organization's legal team was pushing to get rid of all
*.pst files indicating that any important message should be saved as *.msg
file on their harddrives. It is most likely an initiative to 'officially'
eliminate the retention of electronic documents that might have to be
turned
over in the event of a lawsuit. Of course, the fact that they've indicated
that the message should be saved as *.msg defeats the purpose.
I asked the question as I was under the impression that a local *.pst file
had to exist which obviously it doesn't.

Russ Valentine said:Exchange does not use PST files. You can add a PST file to an Exchange
profile if you want, but most Exchange Administrators discourage it for many
reasons. Not sure why anyone using Exchange would be saving any of their
mailbox data to their local hard drive. They shouldn't.
