Most server admins really don't like people storing massive .pst files on the networked server. They quickly run out of space.

Whenever we start running out of space, .psts are the first thing they are the first thing they target (as well as MP3 libraries).

It is tedious to do it with a big backlog but you can sort emails by size and target the biggest ones first. Otherwise get in the habit of taking out the attachments as they come in, it is like keeping the house clean. Do it every day and it takes 10 minutes a day, do it once a week and it takes 2 hours.

Interesting. We keep our .pst files stored on our 'personal space' on one of the network servers (each office has their own server for this purpose). I'll have to find out how we keep from running out of space. We do it to keep the .pst file off our exchange servers.
