No, change the user's password (security reasons), then exmerge it. You
can't run it with the mailbox disabled. Then delete the fella.

Sure, create the same alias that the guy before, put the PST in
c:\exmergedata with the guysalias.pst there and you're up to go.

Sure thing.

Sure, create an account just to hold the deleted folks and add their
addresses on that user as needed. That's another way out. The advantage
with GFI is that mails are saved in EML format, so all I need to do is a
quick search for the guy's address and burn all his EML's on a CD. The
disvantage of doing that on a single user is that you have to crate
rules to organize all inbound mail and it's a pain to export.
