How do I set up folder which points to a PST on my hard drive

[Roger Austin]

I have recently set up a hosted exchange account with a service provider,
using Outlook 2003 as my interface. The folder list that came with the set
up has two highest level items: "Mailbox - My Name" and "Public folders".
All of the information on these is stored on the server of my service
provider. I would like to set up another set of folders which point to PSTs
on my hard drive, so I can move items from the server onto my hard drive (and
thus reduce the amount of space I am using on the server).

At my last employer, I had set up my Outlook system like this (which was an
older version of Outlook, probably 2000), but I can't seem to do it on this
one. I seem to recall there being an option on the Tools menu called
Services, but this isn't displayed on my new Outlook system.

Any assistance would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Roger.
