Just don't forget about Exmerge's 2GB limitation (which is really less than that) if you do the whole mailbox. I think it's pretty safe if you only copy and don't delete, but I hosed a good bit of a user's mailbox about 18 months ago b/c I tried to archive out too much old 'stuff'. I don't remember the exact details, but I think Exmerge bombed at 2GB and the .pst wasn't usable. Unfortunately, the items didn't seem to be recoverable either. Good thing for backups...
RS PS I think MBS or someone else posted a script here that would workaround the 2GB problem. An archive search at Sunbelt would probably turn it up pretty quickly if it's of interest.
