OST File Size Question

Hi all

This is like a general q about how Outlook functions I guess.

Outlook 2003 client with Exchange 2010.

A user has Outlook 2003 running in cached mode, therefore all the folders
created under his inbox get written to his OST file - said user has a 2.19Gb
OST file which seems to make Outlook very slow to fully load.
Supposing a key large folder is moved from beneath the user's inbox into the
Public Folder space, then that folder is added to the user's favourites and
his account is set to "download public folder favourites". Presumably the
contents of the key folder are still written to the same OST file and
therefore there would be no improvement in the speed of his PC?

Any comments?

Using OST to PST recovery tool you can perform advanced scan if the normal scan is unable to migrate OST to PST. This OST to PST conversion software restores the formatting of the RTF and HTML email messages. You can save single mail messages in EML and MSG format with OST to PST converter. Software allows recovery of selected folders and displays complete recipient list after recovery. Now it's easy to convert MS Exchange OST file to PST file and converts the OST file to an equivalent PST file without causing any further damages to the original file or contents. You can convert OST file to other non-OST file such as PST, EML and MSG. Software provides detailed log of all recovered Outlook items. Software supports recovery of OST files created in MS Outlook 2010, 2007, 2003, 2002 & 2000 and compatible with Windows 7, Vista, Server 2003, XP and 2000. You can download free demo version of the tool to scan and verify OST files that are corrupted or damaged due to some reasons. Demo version previews file objects including emails, calendars, contacts, tasks, notes and journal.
