MORE INFORMATION

When you create a shared folder with Net Folders, Outlook creates a hidden folder in the default delivery store, whether it is a personal folder (PST) or an Exchange Server mailbox (MDB). Outlook uses this folder to process Net Folder updates. Changing the default delivery point does not migrate the information in the hidden folder to the new hidden folder.
