My company use Exchange Server with Outlook. Before, it works well with the Outlook 2007. But recently, I've been forced to move to Outlook 2010. Although I've configured all in the Control Panel/ Mail/ Data Files to use my local .PST file as default, the Outlook 2010 does not work as I want. It still store every mail on the 100MB .OST file that represent my folder on the mail server. Then every day I must move the mail from the .ost to the .pst manually.
Please help me to check what wrong with my Outlook 2010 ?
Many thanks!
Outlook 2010 does not use the local pst file to send/receive mail

To set the default delivery location for an Exchange account to a PST file in Outlook 2007 or 2010, you must start with changing your default storage location to PST file, just as in Outlook 2003:
Accept the warning about changing the default Outlook Data File and restart Outlook. (You probably did this step already.)
You are not done yet!
Once you’ve restarted Outlook, go back to your account settings but this time select the E-mail tab. Here, select your Exchange account and press the "Change Folder" button at the bottom. Accept the warning and select the root folder of the PST file as the new storage location.
Restart Outlook again to complete the process.
