Psts are a bigger nightmare. Moving mail back to exchange takes minutes -
set the exchange account as the default account and outlook will move the
items over. There may be some things the user will need to move over, but
most of it will be automatic.

Thanks for your reply. Using Exchange Server may be better but my boss
does't
think so. The .pst files are easy to backup and manage and my boss had a
very
bad experience on restore a crashed exchange server.

Maybe I still have to find a plug-in to do the task.

BTW, if we want to move from .pst to exchange, how long it takes? I saw
some
people talking about OST, is that supported by Exchange 2000? I just want
to
have some idea about this. I'm only an intern student and can't afford the
risk of doing that.

Thanks again.

the way to "sync" a person calendar with the exchange server is to use
the
exchange server as the default location, not a pst. Using a pst defeats
the
reasons for using exchange - sharing, free/busy, remote access to
mailboxes,
and single instance storage of large documents.

We have an Exchange 2000 Server, our employees using outlook 2000/2003
with
personal folder. Everyone store everything in their personal folder,
include
calendar.

My boss wants to share the calendar with a group of people. But as I
know,
we can't share a calendar that is in a personal folder. My boss didn't
want
to use the public folder either.

I've tried some plug-in software. Most of them work like make a copy of
other people's calendar into the personal folder. It's slow and it
makes
the
personal folder huge in size.

As we have an Exchange Server, I'm thinking about is there any way I
can
do
to make the calendar in the personal folder (.pst) synchronize with the
calendar in the Exchange Server (mailbox) automatically? Because it's
easier
to share that calendar.

Or anybody knows any software can share calendar and works well?

Thanks a lot...
