ost files on multiple PCs

[jimmyf1963]

If I use cached exchange mode for the same mailbox on two or more PCs and I
archive messages on one PC what happens to those messages on the other two
PCs? I mean when the other two PCs sync with the server will the archived
messages be deleted? Thanks for your help

Yes, since Cached Exchange Mode is a 2-way sync between server and
client(s). Deleting it on one client will delete it on the server and upon
connecting with a second client, the server side changes (deletions and new
emails) are synced to that client as well.

Therefore, once you archived something to a pst-file, make sure you keep
that pst-file safe and make backups of it or it will be your only copy.

Yes, the archived messages will be removed from the mailbox on the server.
They will be available only in the .pst file that they were archived to.

No need to ask multiple times.
