Dear All,

I am haveing Exchange Enviroment Here in My Network.

All of my users i convert them from using mailbox to use Personal Folder,
and all of the E-mails will be stored locally on the client PC as per our
company Policy.

Now, i want to understand the difrrent between using Personal Folder &
Autoarchive. ?

If i disable the AutoArchive, and depending on the PST, do you think i am
correct or is there any Problem ?

if i did not using Personal folder & used Mailbox, and enable autoarchive,
what is the different between the PST & Autoarchive, ?

3- what will happen if i lost the Pst file, can i use the Autoarchive file
instaed of it ?

thanks & Best Regards,
Medo

The best place for mail is in the Exchange mailbox and not a PST. The
reason for this is that sites generally backup the Exchange server nightly
which guarantees that in event of a disaster that users mail can be
restored.

In any event, the autoarchive engine uses personal folder files. If you
disable the use of PST files, then the autoarchive engine should fail.

Thanks for your reply,

so what i understood, i should not disable at all the AutoArchive, and
should work with the PST , is that correct

If the policy in the company that PST files are okay to use, then don't
disable either.
