Archiving Email Files: Avoid PST Headaches for Your Organization

What are PST files? When you download emails from the main server, and read it on a mail client (Outlook, for example) on your computer, your computer saves the email, as well as any attachments, calendar events and other mail information to .pst files on your computer's hard drive. Why is this a problem? The PST files can take up huge amounts of space, and searching through them can take time you don't have in the event of a lawsuit or compliance problem. Your best bet - archive the email files into a single location, and stop saving PST files on individual computers.
