You poor man. If it makes you feel better, admins everywhere feel the
pain...and a few can top it with stories if their own. :)

This was OL 2003 (thank G-d).
Now I have to decrypt all the data before I burn her DVDs.
A very long and very tedious job.
There has to be a better way.

Some settings are shared, some are not. Outlook has its own dotxtemplate, so
while you can set themes in Outlook, ones you set in Word won't affect
email.

You need to compact the pst - or wait, when there is some idle time, outlook
will kick off compacting. But.. I've heard from a few people that compacting
doesn't work very good in Outlook 2007...

Took all day.
What's worse, when I extracted data from the large PST to a newly created one I overshot
the ~4.5GB size and it became 5.05GB. I had remove email from that (sorting largest

to then compact it. That took more time.

Re: Step5
This is what I don't understand... how do I search or look at the contents

I had never heard of Xobni, but I just looked at their website. What's the
advantage over the Outlook built-in search?
She only has 1 Exchange account. The 3 OST files have 3 different date
stamps. I was told there should be only one in there. So I am guessing
that this happened because offline mode was turned off and back on, and when

Re: Accessing an OST file

AFAIK (and I'm not an Exchange expert) you can only open an OST file if you
re-create the Exchange Account which created it in the first place, other
than buying conversion software...

This is the folder I'm calling "her windows folder"
C:\Documents and Settings\UserName\Local Settings\Application
Data\Microsoft\Outlook
That's where the 3 OST's are.
