RE: PST files, be gone.
Not sure that you would need a separate store for them other than wanting to separate for space, DR, etc. but moving that stuff away from pst's and into a mailbox seems like a brilliant idea:) Bonus1 is the important to someone mail is now on a backed up mail server, not on a workstation/laptop (that can die or be lost) or a network share (unsupported and yes we've had pst's go corrupt using them). Bonus2 is the user can get to the messages anytime, anywhere. We have a message retention policy that applies to all but a few users who keep their mail forever. For those users we created separate by year mailboxes and excluded them from retention. Added the extras to user's profiles, then hid from the gal.

RE: PST files...
Title: RE: PST files... I have tried this numerous times with different mailboxes, exporting the mailbox, simply copying the mailbox but it never works. I know that I have heard about problems relating to the read only issue, but ALL mailboxes that I have attempted give me the same errors. My work around, zipping then burning to cd works, but is a PITA and driving me crazy.
