Working Offline?

How can I set it, so that I can pull all my emails off our exchange server and store them locally only? We have a mailbox limit, and I keep everything.

You can use offline store or personal folders to store your emails locally on your computer Hard Drive.
I need to store them only on my computer, not on exchange. What I need to do is pull all my emails off of the exchange server every time I connect to it. Sorta like a POP3 connection.
TOOLS - SERVICES - ADD - PERSONAL FOLDERS
Browse to where you want to save new new .pst file locally and give it a name.
Now you should see a new set of folders where you can drag your messages off the server and store them locally.
Is there a way to do it automatically?
You can either change your delivery location to the local.pst after it has been setup or use the rules wizard to move certain messages ( or all of them I guess) to the local .pst.
To move all of the messages at once, highligh 1 message, hit CTRL-A, and drag them all to the local .pst.
You should also be able to create  a PST going to
start --> control panel --> mail --> data files and creating a personal folder

move the messages as meintsi has said
I know, is there a way to do it automatically when it detects a connection?
Do you mean for new mail? or am I missing something?

Then its TOOLS - SERVICES - DELIVERY and change the location to the local .pst.
What I am looking for is to be able to check my phone messages and leave, my laptop is always on. There is the reason.

What I need outlook to do is connect (this already works) and download all my new messages locally onto my machine (sorry for saying sync, I am actually just pulling all my messages off the server.)

The problem is I can sync with the server because of our mailbox limit, so what I would like it to do is get all of my new emails, contacts, calendar items, tasks, etc... off of the server and onto my laptop.
Typo, I can't sync with the server because of our mailbox limit.
josh, meintsi has the answer here http:Q_21125277.html#12021188
There isn't a services option in the tools menu. Remember I have Office 2003
