We've been doing this for about a year and half now. First create a user (We use AutoArchive) and set the Copy All Mail account to this in the administrator (services). Create a second user (We use Archive) for the archived email. Each month, move the main.* files from the AutoArchive account folder to the Archive folder and rename them for the month they cover. We use a name scheme like this: 200401-January-2004 This way they sort by the Month and Year. Access this account through the web mail interface and you'll see each of these renamed MBX files is a folder in the mailbox. We also burn the files to CD each month for backup, and depending on the amount of mail and space available you may only keep the last six months or whatever on line, the rest on CD.
