MS Office Forum / Outlook / General MS Outlook Questions / August 2007Dual Boot XP Vista - sharing 2003/2007
I have recently installed Vista with Outlook 2007 on the second partition of my XP (w/Outlook 2003) macine as many have done recently. This is on my company laptop. From everything I have researched on the net , sharing email accounts require pointing one directory to anothers .pst file. We use cache mode on Exchange(2003) instead of pulling the messages off the server. From what I my admin has told me Outlook does not require the pst (only for archiving?). Do I need to do the same for my .ost file in order to be able to access the same account from either partition without long term trouble. So far through one day each cache updated fine. What steps do I need to take to make this possible? If it is indeed possible. Or do I not have to do anything at all? Thanks in advance for your help. Regards, Jeff T No, you cannot share the .ost file as the security settings on it correspond to your specific Outlook 2003 or 2007 profile.

I'll let you do that. With Excahnge accounts, you don't vene need OSTs, if you don't want them. They enhance performance, but are strictly necessary. Turn off Cached Exchange mode and you don't need them. SignatureBrian Tillman [MVP-Outlook] Brian from your post "...if you don't want them. They enhance performance, but are strictly necessary. Turn off Cached Exchange mode and you don't need them....". Confusing to me are "and you don't need them...." and "but are strictly necessary". ? >> Do you want to call my Network Admin and tell him? > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > They enhance performance, but are strictly necessary.

Turn off > Cached Exchange mode and you don't need them. I just washed my hands and can't do anything with them. Let me reinterpret the above. With Exchange accounts you don't even need OSTs, if you don't want them. They enhance performance, but aren't strictly necessary. Turn off Cached Exchange mode and you don't need them.
