Mr fish speaking:

Outlook Express won't let you select a mapped drive as a new message store folder. Looking in knowledge base it just says due to the reliability issues of mapped drives it won't therefore allow it.

SO

Can I get round this or is there any other way of automatically backing up messages to my mapped server or not.

Any thoughts appreciated. Cheers

Are you a) specifying the path as //server/share or b)mapping the network drive to a drive letter in explorer and specifying that?

I'd expect b to work even if it through a wobbly with a.
