As it seems that you do actually need large email stores to archive mail which
presumably needs to be reliably stored so you can actually get it back (or else whats
the point of bothering to archive it?), what business functionality would moving them
from a nice reliable easy to back up and manage exchange database store to a
unreliable, difficult to control and backup PST file?
I'm not a fan of shuffling stuff around between different file stores to be honest, it
is at best a short term solution that won't solve your actual problem.

Hi.
Standard Version of EX5.5, SP4. 200+ users.
We are looking at educating users in not storing everything in their email,
but storing in either a .pst or .ost. Money is an issue, my company won't pay
for us to upgrade to 5.5 Enterprise or Exchange 2K, so there's no option IMO
other than educate the packrats, and set up an archiving solution.
I've also read the arguments in the FAQ, but wonder what other folks in a
similar
situation would do, with regard to archiving.
Currently our priv.edb is 13.9 GB, while the pub.edb is 226MB, so would
archiving
essential emails on Public folders be a reasonable idea?
Some of our client handlers need to keep archives for some of our clients, in
case
of compliance issues.
Jon
