XCLN: Err Msg: ...User.ost Can Not be Accessed Because...

ID: Q147681

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Exchange Windows 3.x client, versions 4.0, 5.0
Microsoft Exchange Windows NT client, versions 4.0, 5.0
Microsoft Exchange Windows 95/98 client, versions 4.0, 5.0

SYMPTOMS

Because the .OST file is linked to a mailbox, and if the mailbox is deleted and a new mailbox is created with the exact same properties, the .OST file will not be available, and you will receive the following error message:

The file c:\win95\user.ost can not be accessed because it has been configured for use with a different mailbox.

CAUSE

This is by design.
