personal folder disappears after opening outlook in offline mode

[Xavier]

Hi,

I have a personal folder on a mapped network drive at work. When i take my
laptop home with me and open outlook in offline mode, outlook obviously can't
find the personal folder which is fine. I click ok and outlook opens a file
dialog but i just click cancel and continue looking at my mail.

Now the problem is when i go back to work and put the laptop back on the
work network, i open outlook and the personal folder has gone. I have to
always manually re-add it. Opening outlook in offline mode seems to
disassociate the personal folder with my mail box when it can't find it. Does
anyone know if there is a around this with moving the personal folder to the
C: of my laptop?

That is indeed the solution. Connecting to pst-files on a network is not
recommended or supported by Microsoft and could lead to total loss of data.
