Just create the user, mail enable them and put them into the emptiest store. That's it really.

Hi - thanks for the reply I didnt explain myself properly I was trying to connect Outlook so that a copy of the users data is left on the server - as with IMAP I thought this meant moving the users .pst file to the server but if so, where shoud it be etc ..... Many Thanks again "Ferbalex" wrote: > Hi all > > Exchange 2003 using Outlook 2003 as client > Can anyone tell me best practices for setting-up the users mailbox > on the server.

That's pretty much it. Do not use PST files if you can avoid it -and if you must use them for some reason, do not try to access them across a network connection.
