Thanks. We'll let you know when a new response is added.

If you use outlook to export their mailbox to a .pst file you can save it wherever you wish. You can also use exmerge on the exchange server to export their mailbox, but if you use outlook 2003 instead you will not have a limit to the size as it will be in unicode.

    Once i export to the .pst and remove the profile, i would need to remember the password when i access the .pst again - I thought... Is this the case? THANKS! ST

    you won't need to know/remember a password unless a password was specifically assigned to the .pst file.

    Once the mailbox is saved to a PST, any user can import it. I'd recommend giving away a COPY of the PST file, keep the original for electronic discovery/legal purposes.
