robinluo:Two ways to do this:

By importing PST
- Disconnect PST from user's profile and use Exchange account only
- Open Outlook, File -> Import & Export -> Import from PST....

By drag and drop
- Setup user's profile with both Exchange and Personal folders
- Copy items from Personal folders t

HOWEVER -

Would you use ExMerge....?

When would be the difference.. so I understand....?
Thanks

If you have more than a handful of PSTs I'd rather go with Exmerge.

2 pitfalls:

You need to cerate a special user to use ExMerge http://support.microsoft.com/kb/292509

ExMerge looks for a pst with the alias name of the user (or display name, if no alias present). You may have to rename the PSTs-

Hope it helps,

I have done the import pst method .... worked well on some

however i have one user using outlook 2007 whereby i had to recreate her profile to talk to exchange. it simply would not communicate and kept loading outlook with offline mode.

after I recreated her profile i could connect to exchange HOWEVER i get a user/pass prompt that must be completed when outlook loads bizarrley.

PST is renamed so no more access.

any ideas

Thanks guys and gals
