Moving Away from PSTs

Personal folder files (PSTs—files with the .pst extension) provide a means of storing data such as mail messages and calendar events in a way that makes the data accessible through Microsoft Office Outlook. Users typically use PSTs to compensate for storage quotas on an Exchange server. Because users can’t store all their messages on an Exchange server indefinitely, they'll often move most of their messages to PSTs that are stored locally instead. Although PSTs are convenient, they also have drawbacks that might cause you to consider gradually eliminating them from your Exchange organization. . . .
