This happens to me once in a while. Doesn't make a difference if I'm local to Exchange or if i'm in a remote office. I have always attributed this to a corrupt OST file. I normally just delete the OST and recreate the offline file. This solves it. Could it be that your exchange mailbox is corrupt? Try creating a PST out of the mailbox, delete the mailbox off exchange and recreate it, then copy the folders back from the PST. -----Original Message----- From: Amy Dukart [mailto:ADukart@xxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: 08 March 2002 9:29 PM To: [ExchangeList] Subject: [exchangelist] RE: Errors in background synchronization http://www.MSExchange.org/ Is this when you are in a remote location? Because that is what is happening to me and I can not figure it out. I've been looking into for about 6 weeks.
