RE: Mailbox archiving/moving

[Snook, Kevin S (ITD)]

This defies belief! Do you really have to such great lengths to avoid .psts? It's crazy. The format these messages are saved in is *far* more susceptible to damage than a .pst. This is *not* an effective and safe archiving mechanism.

The only thing our users objected to when we suggested this was that in Explorer the date and time stamp of the message is the time it was saved, not the date of the message itself (which shows up OK when you open it) but our users who had already filled their mailboxes weren't convinced (altho' we did say "from now on save them as they come in" - Do they let their hallway at home become filled with post until they can't open the front door before they file anything?).

Windows Explorer & Outlook.

 

Drag and drop messages from Outlook folder to any storage folder (CD, HDD, network, etc.)  No PST.  Inexpensive.   Archive all messages before a certain date?   Click the Date header, scroll to preferred date, Shift key, End (or Home), drag-n-drop.

 

Reading the messages from a CD is easy enough after that... double-click on the message in the CD folder.   No read-only issues as in PSTs.  No need to restore.  What could be easier?

Ok all, I can only guess this is a popular issue or has been at some point, so apologies for the redundancy...

 

Can anyone recommend a 3rd party app to assist in taking users' msgs from various folders and custom folders and archiving them to another media (CD-ROM, Network folder, etc).  I realize that using PSTs is an option, but I'd like an easier one. 

 

My hope is that I can move the unneeded msgs to a CD, then return CD to user along with some simple instructions on how to restore any of the needed msgs.

 

Environment:

W2K Advanced Server

Exchange 5.5, SP4

 

Thanks to everyone.
