Exactly, set up a MACHINE to do this, not a person. I would find it
difficult to work under those circumstances. AR bosses are the worst.

|||| I'm thinking about a solution for my boss. His Outlook receive

|||
||| Are you using Exchange server? 2000/2003? If so, set up another
||| mailbox for message journaling as per
|||
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=KB;EN-US;Q261173&.
||| Host your own mail on the server & have all mail handled by Exchange

|||
||| Also, if you are using Exchange, don't use PST files for storage.
||| Use the mailbox folders on the server.
|||
||||
|||| I configured the "autoarchive" to move old items to other pst
|||| files. But this solution makes confusing for the user as there has
|||| too many PST files. He is using Outlook2000. The below is my
|||| proposed solutions for centralise the PST files:
||||
|||| Outlook2000 + Attachment Sniffer
|||| In some tests, it shows this solution can reduce the number of PST
|||| files and enhance the performance. However, as you said, this
|||| version of Outlook is unable to handle that huge number of emails.
|||| So, upgrade to OL2003 may be better but the hardware have to
|||| upgrade too....
||||
|||| Can you think another solution to prevent from software or hardware
|||| upgrade?
