Went from MS Post Office Mail to Exchange Server 5.5 and moved all email from one server to another. However, we still have PST files being saved on the first server for some reason...why?

Check MS Outlook services (Located in Tools\services on the client) and look to see if it is still pointing to your old server. If the service is still pointing to the old server you can delete the Personal Folder service, move the PST file to the other server, re-add the service and point it to the file at the new location.

Check your clients. They are probably still configured to use MSMail. If using OL you need to remove the MSMail service and make sure any Personal folders are not pointing to the MSMail server.

PST files are stored in location specified during creation of Personal Folder and email is moved to this location. If you want your email to be stored on Exchange Server, change the delivery Tools>Services>Delivery on the clients to Mailbox instead of Personal folder. Mailbox will be stored on Exchange Server.

If I remove or even rename the PST's that Outlook is using it gives an error...If I try to delete them from inside Outlook 2k it says "operation failed" and something about an object or item not found.
