Dumb question for you all, just to make your Friday a bit easier :-)

First, let me tell you that our Exchange server isn't huge (8GB) and I don't
have experience with archiving.

Is there anyway that I can archive certain messages or folders to an offline
storage area? I know I can archive whole mailboxes, but my situation is that
I have some large folders, some with 60,000+ emails, and I'd like to take,
say, the oldest 50,000 and move them out of the Exchange database and into a
file that would reside on our file server, where there's lots of space. I
don't need these to be readily available, but ideally there would be a way I
could use some program (maybe OL itself?) to browse through those messages
if need be. 

We're using Ex 5.5 and OL 2000. 

I know about programs like Veritas Remote Storage, and while that looks like
a nice solution that would do a lot of things, it also costs $3500.

Any ideas that may be cheaper?

Thanks,

Evan
