Microsoft Outlook: PST vs Mail Storage

[vibhor_agarwalin]

Hi,

Looking for pros & cons of having a PST vs Mail Storage (Exchange Server) for the mails.
Kindly let us know the +ve & -ve of both.

Thanks in advance

An Exchange server is usually employed when multiple users want to share Outlook calendars, tasks, email, etc.  If you're not working in a multi-user environment or you simply don't need to do such sharing, then there's no point is going the Exchange server route; just use PST.

I have both the options of Exchange Server & PST.
Needless to say we do sharing & collaborate.

I had been using PST for the past couple of years but all my colleagues use Exchange Server storage for mails.
Hence, wondering about the pros & cons of both.
