Why can remote users view Outlook archive folders?
I have several users who access their Microsoft Outlook accounts remotely. We’re running Outlook 2003 on a Windows Small Business Server (SBS) 2003. One of the users has a large archive folder that can be viewed on his laptop while in the office. However, when he accesses Outlook remotely on the same laptop, he cannot view the archive folder. Why can’t he view his archive folder remotely? It is very possible that the archive folder is located on a network share rather than on his local laptop. If that is the case, then he would have no way of accessing it when he is off the local area network (LAN) and on the road. MEMBER FEEDBACK: If your Microsoft Outlook is in cached mode, then indeed you should not be able to access the .PST file if it is on a network drive. However, if you’re on a VPN, you may need the full path to the .PST file. Many times the shares are listed as an H drive, Z drive, etc. A fully qualified path should do the trick. Eddie L.
