Re: My local PC outlook data store..

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

I've had the XP computer for a while, it's the PST file that was
pre-existing.
the computers here were on a workgroup network, I'm moving them over to a
domain network.

after connecting, for one logon, the PST file was imported into the server
from the computer-
the other logon failed to pull in my PST

however, I think I got it, I opened mail in the XP control panel, selected
new messages to go to exchange box,
and the warning was next launch expect- and it appears to be moving now...
