we are storing the pst file on a network share in the sense that it's part
of the roaming profile that gets uploaded and downloaded to the PDC. i
changed this at install from the default which is to store the pst file in
the local settings folder. i did this because the profiles get backed up to
tape on the server and i wanted e-mail to be backed up and to roam just like
the rest of the profile. this has been working correctly since last april
and now it seems to be causing problems. what's the correct way to
accomplish this?
