Status: offline 		The outlook connector stores its files in the 'local settings' folder in the users profile.  This folder is not copied back the the profile store when using roaming profiles.  As a result my users have to select there MailArchive user name each time they logon and open outlook.

Status: offline 		Currently this is the way the connector is designed since a local cache is also put into that folder. A work around would be to create a VBScript to copy out the generalsettings.xml file on logout and copy it back on login. With this you save the settings but not the cache and would have to rebuild it everytime you log back in. You can get the cache db in this script but you may not want to depending on the number of emails in the archive for the user.

Status: offline 		I think the appropriate solution would be to allow the redirection of this folder.  Just like you can redirect the 'my documents' folder.

Status: offline 		I have made it work,
I made a batch file (yes the old dos) witch copy the GFI/Mailarchiver6 directory to the user profile on the server, when a user logoff I made trough the GPO (logoff script)
And it works fine.

md "\\server\profiles\%username%\Local Settings\Application Data"
md "\\server\profiles\%username%\Local Settings\Application Data\GFI"
md "\\server\profiles\%username%\Local Settings\Application Data\GFI\MailArchiver6\"
c:
cd "%userprofile%\Local Settings\Application Data\GFI\MailArchiver6\"
xcopy *.* "\\server\profiles\%username%\Local Settings\Application Data\

I Think the only file to be coppied are the .xml files but I am not sure.

It is not THE sollustion but it works
