A Private Share will allow this to happen. You just have to make sure that
you have plenty of space on the file server that you provide to them. I
would recommend putting a size limit on their share and letting them know -
this is what you have to use and if you fill it up, you will have to make
space. This will force your user community to keep an eye on all the junk
they save and only keep the pertinent information. On each User's PC, you
will have to point their PST files to their individual shared location.
Remember, you are in IT and you can only provide so much...

Thank u so much for your answer, Chris. My users are chewing me up because
they want to store their e-mails in the same place as their other files
(.xls, .doc, etc.)... I don't know what to say to convince them that it's
not good to have lots of .msg files in a folder.

Have them save to a PST file on a server with Public Shares with permissions
only to themselves(for security). This way, you keep your exchange Database
small, and can backup and restore the files on a separate server without
having to bring down your e-mail in such an event.

In your opinion... what's best when users have to save e-mails:
- put them in Exchange PUBLIC FOLDERS
- save them on a SHARED NETWORK FOLDER (as an .msg file) ?
My first inclination is to direct everybody to use Public Folders (feels
like it's the "native" location & platform for e-mails)...
...but there's the following dilemma:
- e-mails have files attached often, and I tell my users to save these to
a network share and NOT keep them attached inside the e-mail (2
reasons: to minimize Exchange database size, and so that they can be indexed
for searches, etc)...
- but then they want to keep the e-mail too, and hate having two
locations (Public Folders AND Network Share) to go to for info relating to
the same project...
Is there anything wrong with saving e-mails to disk as a file? What's the
"best practice"?
Thanks for your wisdom on this subject...
Alfonso
