OutLook private folders.
We have beenmoving e-mails to private folders in Outlook from the inbox to keep the folder size down in Exchange. One user received a warning that the mailbox was close to the limit. I thought that private folders we not stored on exchange but locally. If this is not correct, do they have to move .pst files to My Docs or another folder out of outlook?

Can you create a folder in outlook that can make it easy to access these folders and still get them off the server?

That is what we did but the user is still getting the size warning. I will look into this more.
Hi dwarren0940,
When you move the email you should see the size go down, in Tools ~ Mailbox Cleanup ~ View Mailbox size.
Perhaps the user did not move enough emails or the ones with big attachments.

They will have to move the messages to a pst to lower the size of the mailbox.
Private folders just hide your messages from other people.
