Where does Outlook store its local copy of messages that come from an exchange server? I have a machine running XP there was a user account on it previously that had outllok connected to an exchnage server. That account have been removed however I am hoping that the local copy of the exchange server messages are still on the machine somewhere.

Where does Outlook store its local copy of exchange messages 1

Are you referring to using Outlook 2003 and having the cached emails or did they use a PST for Outlook 200x?
The default location for the OST and PST files from Outlook 2003 is in C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook

It is Outlook 2003 running from an exchange server. It seems that when running on exchange the email is not stored within the PST file that is the location that you have specified. I have tried the file that is saved there but it is not a vaild Outlook Data File. When it is setup there is a message stating that Outlook is creating local storage for messages however when on exhnage this is not within the normal PST file.
