Outlook won't Sync with Exchange
Scenario
Computer A (My Primary PC) Computer B (different computer at work) I see and receive my emails just fine when I am on my Computer A. But when I log into another Computer B, it doesn't have my emails. Is there a way to FORCE SYNC my primary to the Exchange Server? Using Cached mode or no? What version of Outlook? Can you see the messages in OWA? 1. No the emails, are not on OWA. 2. Office 2003 3. Yes, cache mode Please let me know if you need to know anything else. Thanks! If the messages aren't in OWA then the messages aren't on the server, which would explain why you can't see them from a different machine. I'd wager that the messages are being downloaded into a PST, in which case, you should stop that and keep them on the server. Ok, I see. Where is the Location or file path the User Mailboxes on ther server? or is there a way to force a sync? Because it does sync with the server, but if that is true, it should be working correctly when I am on another PC. The location is in the Exchange database, but, if there was mail in the mailbox in the database, you'd see it in OWA. Do this, go over to the machine where you can see your mail and exit completely out of Outlook. Bring up Task Manager to be sure that the Outlook.exe process is not running on the processes tab. Use Hotmail, gmail, whatever to send yourself an email message. Open up OWA to see if the mail is there. If it is, and there's no reason it shouldn't be, then you need to look at your Outlook settings on this machine to see how you're moving the mail into a PST. It could be a rule, it could be your delivery location. Once you figure out what's moving the messages, change it, and drag your mail back up to the Inbox on the server and it'll be available everywhere. If it's not there, you need to talk to your Exchange admin to figure out why mail isn't going to your mailbox. I have working with the exchange admin and haven't had much luch either. I am the first teir so I am trying to figure this out. I have also deleted the .ost files and made copies of the .pst files already for backup. I will try to find the exchange database. Why are there PSTs? Again, if there isn't anything in OWA, there likely won't be anything in the OST either. Do this at the client that *can* see the mail. Go to Tools - Account Settings and go to the Data Files tab. What is listed as the Default? -- f.h. Microsoft Outlook MVP |

Outlook won't Sync with Exchange
Is there a way to direct the emails to go to the server?

If so, there is no way to synch them with another computer.

Yes, correct, that's what I did. But the issue is the emails are not directed
to the Exchange server it is directed to the .pst on the Computer A. Is there a way to direct the emails to go to the server?

On one network I admin (without roaming profiles), if a user wants to access their mail on a different computer, I have to first create an account in Control Panel under Mail.

It worked, after I did that, I just copied all of the older emails into the
Exchange mail box and it is all back. Now I have a better understanding of out this is stored. But is there a way to look at the inbox on the Exchange Server? System Manager?

Outlook won't Sync with Exchange
It says:
Name Archive Folders Filename Cfilepath to the location) Comment Mail delivery location So it looks like the emails are going directly to this Archive.pst file, but it isn't syncing with the exhcange server. Please let me know if you need to know anything else. Thanks, Because you're telling it NOT to sync with the Exchange server. You are connecting to an Exchange server and telling Outlook 'Hey, deliver the mail to this PST file.' So, it does. All the mail goes to that PST file whenever this Outlook client is running. It doesn't get stored on the server. It gets stored in that PST file. If you want the mail to stay on the server, then the Default should be Mailbox - Username. Once you've set that, restart Outlook. I'm about 90% sure you'll need to then drag all the mail out of the PST back up into your mailbox for it to be available. My word, your Exchange admin couldn't figure this out? -- f.h.

If your delivery location is the Exchange mailbox, then your Inbox is on the Exchange server and opening the Inbox is looking at the Exchange server. -- Brian Tillman [MVP-Outlook] |

That worked! Thanks
If I log into the Exchange Server, where can I find all of these user mailboxes. I would like to go to the mail box itself on the server next time, then trying to fix it on the workstations.
