Never has the preached gospel been so true.... The only business case that can be made for a decision like this is to conserve disk space on the exchange server. The extra labor costs for administering userland PST files will QUICKLY outweigh any cost savings realized by pinching on server disk drives.
If you would like a list of reasons why this is a bad idea, I'm sure that the list would be willing to help you out with that request.

I hope you went down kicking and screaming on this one. I for one would also be polishing up my resume and kicking down some doors as well. This is only going to get ugly for you from this point out.

Woohoo! Save some money, maybe they will give it back to you as a bonus!

I had several rules to move mailing lists emails to server folders that now point to local PST folders. Before, these mailing list messages never showed up in the inbox, and the Blackberry server (BES server) never saw them (and thus never sent them to my blackberry). Now when one of these emails arrives, it briefly appears in the inbox before my PC has a chance to grab it and move it to a local PST. This means that some of the time the BES server sees it and forwards it to my blackberry. Does anyone know of any tricks to avoid this? I may have to switch these back to the server as I can keep stuff there less than 60 days old but this means that I would need to have to manually archive these before the server deletes them.
