Moving Default store to server ?

[mugentuner]

Hi,

I have a small business client that works with an outlook pop3 mailbox on
their client pc and Vista business, but they have a proper network domain.
All normal data is stored on the server through their roaming profile
however, they are working where they save all their mail to their individual
machines (vulnerable). What we would like to do is somehow have a working
mail store for each pop3 account saved on the server where it will be backed
up centrally. Is there a way that I can point their default store to the
server without very slow access e.t.c. or how would you pros recommend we
handle this to get the mail data backed up daily for each client pc? look
forward to your reply. P.S. they don't have an exhange server install on the
network either.

Maybe use the free Outlook backup addin, available from MS Outlook site and
point the backup location to the server, or other place that is backed up to
the server

Hi DL,

Looks like you may have pointed me to the wrong KB. In any case, would this
add-in be an automated of backing up their mail store to the server (like
once a week or so)? If it is, it might be a good solution. I really just
need a more automated solution than exporting the mail file to a pst backed
up on the server. thanks very much. Look forward to any other solutions as
well. This will have to do until they can spring for a version of Exchange
for the server.

Whoops; Try this, as an explanation as why its not a good idea to place the
main store on the server

The Backup addin is automated, eg every 7 days and functions when Outlook is
closed
