Issue unarchiving in OL 2007

Last night I decided to try archiving. Didn't like how it separated my
calendar, emails, tasks, etc from my current things so I wanted to unarchive.
Couldn't find anything about it (probably didn't look hard enough.) So I
moved forward with dragging and dropping all emails, events etc back to
current folders. No issues, all looks like it where it was. The only issue
now is that I am not receiving any emails today. I know Exchange is working
because I am seeing the emails in OWA and my Blackjack. Went to Account
Settings and it is using an OST file. Is this normal? I always thought it
should use a PST? This is time-sensitive so if someone could assist quickly
that would be much appreciated.

Are you using an Exchange account? AN OST is the cache Outlook creates when
using an Exchange account.

Yes I am using Exchange. I looked at another default install of someone who
has not used archive yet and they by default are using the OST file as well.
I think the issue is that the server is still trying sync up all the email
that was removed via the archive process and then put back a half hour later.
What do you think?

Possible, I suppose, depending on the speed of the connection.

That's what it was. After two hours of Outlook syncing to Exchange it
finished and all is good.
