I would _not_ put a outlook-mailfile somewhere on the profile path,
as it's copied back and forth on every logon/logoff ... considering
the usual habit of accumulating all mails, attachments included, in
that file till it grows past any userspace and -time limitation.
A better idea would be to redirect its path to the server, which can
be achieved using poledit and the outlook template (*.adm file) from
the Office XP ressource kit. Make a share which contains %U in its
path, don't forget to create the folders with appropriate permissions.
You have to turn off client side caching (csc policy = disable) as
well as oplocks, due to the database structure and accessmode of
mailfiles.
