Thank you. I appreciate your help.
My mailbox properties shows the Offline Folder File Settings to be .ost and
running in unicode.
In the C:drive Outlook folder there is an Outlook.pst and an outlook.ost
The pst file, which was modified approx 30 min earlier than the ost is approx
50,000 KB larger than the ost
Should I do a standard export of the "Mailbox", with all subfolders to a pst
file on my desktop and then, after I remove the exchange acct, import again
or can I just drag the ost or pst out of the outlook folder before I remove
exchange acct? Will this have any impact on the existing pst file and will
there be any "ownership/privilege" problems with the folders, emails,
contacts, etc. after I import?
