My company is looking to deploy an email archive system that will automatically connect to our Exchange server and archive messages based on various criteria (time, date, do not archive flag, etc.).

One of our goals is to use this archive system as our email back since it is much easier to bring back an email from an archive than through a backup software.

I found a whole list of tools at http://www.slipstick.com/exs/archive.asp but that's just a list.

Do you have a recommendation for a particular tool? If so, why?

And yes, we've been using PSTs but everybody know how clumsy that is.

the all-in-one Exchange 2003 tools and updates package and some useful Windows tools.

Microsoft has taken more than 20 tools, updates, and applications and packed them together into a single download package called EXALLTOOLS.EXE
You may want to try The Exchange 2003 Archive Sink tool included in the package (or as a seperate download).
Here is a link that describes parts of the toolkit and has links to the download.

I'm actually looking for a commercial product to properly archive all mailboxes on my Exchange server.

It also needs to be easy so end-users can manage their own archives.

I was looking at Mimosa Systems. GFI also has a good archive product but I'm not sure which one is better.

You should check out SonaVault Exchange Archiver. Very good Archiver and I have worked with that company, they have excellent help desk packages in case there is ever a problem. Check them out at www.nappliance.com
