MORE INFORMATION
To create a new OST, perform the following steps:
- Exit and log out of the Exchange Client,
- Rename any existing OST files with an "xxx" extension.
- Restart the Exchange Client online. (The profile may need to be changed
if the client is set to start offline.)
- When you are prompted with: "The file "C:\XXXX\XXX.OST could not be
found," click OK.
- You will then be prompted with the Offline Folder File Settings dialog
box.
- Click OK (or change the path and/or the OST filename if desired).
- When you are prompted with "The file c:\xxx\xxx.ost could not be found.
Would you like to create it," Click YES.
- The Exchange Client will start online. Select Synchronize - All folders
from the Tools menu.
The new offline folder is now synched with the server. The client may be
started offline at this point with the new OST file.
