When you run Outlook using Microsoft Windows NT Terminal Server Edition, and attempt to open a shared personal folder (.pst) file that does not have a password, you get the following error message:
Microsoft Outlook
Outlook could not start because a location to send and receive messages could not be found. To add a location, such as a personal folder file, double-click the Mail icon in Windows Control Panel. An error occurred that prevented the file \\your\shared\pst\file.pst from being saved. Close and then restart all mail-enabled applications.
WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, copy the shared .pst file to a local drive on the Terminal Server.
