[dba-Tech] Exchange was RE: Outlook PST troubles

> Does that help?

Very much. Nice simple explanation, and yes you are right that I don't need
it, even "at work". She has a server, but it's only so the data gets saved
there for access from any of her 4 computers. She uses AOL for email, and I
use Outlook to grab the email via the RoadRunner account that provides the
internet conduit. So, no need for email to be on her server.

Thanks, Kathryn
