I have several users who use Outlook 2000 on laptops, and the mailbox is on Exchange 5.5

Our CIO has asked us to reduce the sizes of the mailboxes, but several users have large mailboxes and are saying to myself that they need access to information perhaps stored 6 months or a year ago.

Creating .pst files is not the answer from the users perspective as these are cumbersome to use over a long period of time.

Can anyone suggest any methods (or 3rd party products) that can be used to address this issue.

Try WN MailKeeper at http://web.wickett.net/WNMailKeeper/

You create .msg files for each e-mail message including any attachments. You store these .msg files on any storage medium (CD, floppy disk, etc.). You can download the demo copy which works fine but adds an advertisement tag to the body of each e-mail, or you can purchase a full copy.

Also if attachments is the biggest space hog, check out www.exchangefaq.com for archiving programs for Exchange.
Some tools will take and move attachments to a file share, leaving a link in the email to the attachment.
