Exchange/Outlook Mailbox issue

I have a customer that has several employees that have large mailboxes in exchange. I want to setup these employees to be able to store mail they want to save in a separate location so it doesn't take up space in their mailbox and is stored on a separate drive. This customer uses roaming profiles and they still want to be able to view these old messages. I thought about archiving but my thought is that they could only view these messages if they import back into their mailbox. Thus creating a large inbox again. Once this part is completed i will go in and create storage limits on their exchange accts.
Thanks

When i archive i see it open the archive folder in the folder list but it then disappears. If the archive can remain viewable in the tree and i don't have to import it, then how do you keep this up...

Hmm, I'm not sure. Mine has always been visible in the folder list. I just took it for granted. I don't have access to Outlook at the moment; have a look at Tools, Services or Tools, Email Accounts, depending on your version.

Use the pst file. You can create a natural filing system within each .pst and create a new one each year or so to prevent it from getting too huge. I have been using them for a long time and they work great.
