Bunch of very interesting options! Thanks for sharing as I have a PST burden at the moment that is driving me crazy.
If you mail is in house running on an exchange platform, the winning commercial product seems to be symantec enterprise vault. This doesnt work in my environment as I have an outsourced exchange server but many large local PST files. I will definitely be taking a look at your 2 open source options. My main criteria will be integration with outlook. The back end I could argue either way for database resiliency vs filesystem object simplicity. .NET would certainly not be a deal breaker for me. Like it or not, I have .NET deployed for a variety of windows tools and apps that the business have said they need at one time or another. I also just spoke to MessageLabs about their new archival service. It isn't the droid you are looking for. It is a web only interface for search, it doesnt preserve any folder heirarchy (just to and from), meant more for compliance and ongoing archiving of every mail ever sent to or from your organization. It is also very expensive and there is no easy way to mass upload your own data - we talked alot about pre-populating a removable drive with PSTs, then sending it to them and paying their support guys to upload it. Bit of a non-answer, I hope this is helpful, but I will definitely let you know once I have had a chance to look more deeply at these 2 products you found. Regards, Rob
