Set the default data location

note

 Note: this functionality is not supported in Outlook 2003

 

The OnePlaceMail data location can be set to one of three modes:
        

Local: The default is  to use: OnePlaceMail Data File - Local user profile (Recommended)

The OnePlaceMail folders are added to a dedicated local OnePlaceMail .pst file in the user’s local windows profile.

 

Roaming : The OnePlaceMail folder is added to a dedicated local, OnePlaceMail pst in the users roaming Windows profile. (recommended for Citrix or TS environments)

 

Default Data File: OnePlaceMail uses the users default mail store (either Microsoft Exchange or local mail .pst file) for adding OnePlaceMail folders to.

 


 
This setting can be set via the configuration update process and the ability to change it through ‘OnePlaceMail Settings ’ can be enabled/disabled by an Administrator.
To enable this feature use the <usePST> tag, within <outlook> tags.
