I deleted my profile, now I can not access the copy of the public folder on my client!

[Georg Hodosi]

Hi,

I hope that this question is new and nobody has done this misstake!

I synchronized my public folders (including, tasks, calendar, notes ....)
and made a backup on the *.pst files. I don't have any access any more to
that LAN.

Then (I can not explain why) I deleted the service (deleted the LAN-server)
and everything disappeared.

Do you have some advice?
What is the name of the dbs where public folders are stored?
The pst-files do not help me.

Thank you for any help

Best regards
Georg

If you were using an .ost file (offline exchange store) and you no longer
have the connection to that exchange server, your data is now gone.

Thank you Milly!
I have found the *.pab and the address book seems to work.

I have now found the *.ost but I´m not able to read it. Strange?

Best regards
Georg

No, not strange, expected. The .ost file is tied to your Exchange profile -
once the profile is gone, the information store cannot be opened.

OK, I see, it is a security/authentity feature.

Thank you for the information.
