Message: [QUOTE="Brian Tillman, post: 4765941"] What you describe is possible, but heed DL's warning. If you back up the PST(s) often, it shouldn't be a problem. You can access a PST only in one instance of Outlook at any one time (two PCs can't be looking at the same PST at the same time) and it's easiest to manipulate Outlook 2000's configuration if you have installed it in Corporate/Workgroup mode because you have direct access to the mail profile, although you should be able to set it up to share in Internet Mail Only mode as well. Copy the PSTs to a network share, then use File>Open>Personal Folders File. to browse to the network-shared PST. Select it and click OK (or Open - I forget which). Then make the copy the delivery location. That will vary depending on IMO or CW mode. For the former, select the PST in the Folder List and click File>Properties. There should be a selection to make that PST the delivery location. FOr CW mode, click Tools>Service and there should be a Delivery tab there. After changing the delivery location, stop and restart Outlook to make it take effect. You can then close the old copy of the PST with right-click Close. Save it for the initial backup. [/QUOTE]
