.pst's are not good as primary message storage, due to their many limitations. http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq_appxf.htm
But they are fine as a redundant archive. To be opened in Outlook, they can not be read only (Outlook needs write access) so, while stored on a CD, they will have to be copied to HD and have the appropriate attribute changed to allow access. .pst's are not bad archival storage.

On another list I am on it is suggested that outlook mail be archived to .pst files and burned to cd's Is there any good reason to do this? My understanding is that this is not a wise idea and that there are better ways to archive mail stores. It seems that at least once a week someone on this list is trying to deal with a corrupt pst file.
