Outlook Personal folders ( .pst files)

Server 2008 (2nd edition) and Exchange server
Outlook (office 2007 and office 2010)

We have 2 users who can both access the same email account on 2 different PCs and when it gets over size one of them Archives the email, the only problem with that is the other user cannot see the Archived mail.

Is it safe for them to archive to a shared location on the server? If not do you have any other suggestion?

thanks
Sam

We are not allowed to use anything Cloud.

Please tell me how to enable this Exchange Archive mailbox

GillesT

Just call Enable-Mailbox "MailboxName" -Archive
If you want to create the archive mailbox in another database, you can add : -Database "Databasename"

The Exchange is 2007 not 2010 is that function still available ?

If not:
1. Is it safe to attach the .pst to Outlook from a share on the server
2. IS it safe to have the same .pst attched to two different PCs running Outlook

You are really limited on your options, the only other option to share this Archive data is to create another mailbox and archive to there, but sharing a PST is a very bad idea.
