"Microsoft Outlook PST files provide a solution to the problem
of overflowing inboxes. Email is moved from a users online
message store to a local PST file. These PST are then often
placed onto a file server for safe keeping. Although the user
has alleviated the problem of space in their mailbox, consequently
they have created further problems and costs for administration."
Peter Ward, Project
Manager, I-Logik Software
"The major drawback of PST files is that they are extremely
large in size. It is not uncommon to find a PST file on a
corporate file server of well over 1GB. Multiply this by the
total number of users and suddenly the vast majority of space
on a file server is swallowed up by PST files. With rising
management costs, simply adding more hardware to alleviate
the problem is no longer a practical solution".
Simon Turner, Technical Director, I-Logik Software
