In further response to Annemarie Toth-Waddell's question about e-mail
archiving I'd like to note that .pst files are notoriously corruptible.
Once they get close to their maximum two gigabyte size they become unstable.
Although two gigabytes seems like a lot of space, it doesn't take long to
fill it up when e-mail attachments are involved.
When a .pst file is corrupted it is very difficult, often impossible, to
recover the lost e-mails without a recent back-up. I recommend that those
interested in keeping .pst files in my organization keep one file per year
to keep the volume of e-mails in each .pst low. My theory is that this
reduces the risk of file corruption. It's not the best solution, but it
seems an appropriate interim measure while we search for better ways to cope
with e-mail management.
