Thanks in advance for your time and helping me out.
I am seeking help on archiving emails in Entourage 2008 on a MAC 10.5.6 computer. I purchased EagleFiler, planning to use EagleFiler to archive emails. EagleFiler online does not provide much support ( no phone support )

My Entourage 2008 main identity already downloaded all 8GB of one mailbox from Exchange server. I am using a MAC 10.5.6 computer with Entourage 2008. Now I need to archive emails and make the mailbox to be less than 2 GB on the Exchange server. I purchased EagleFiler about 2 weeks ago for archiving at somebody’s suggestion. The previous support person did not do enough archiving and now the mailbox on Exchange is 8GB, and previous Entourage database is corrupted. I reconfigured a new Entourage 2008 for the Exchange account, and downloaded the 8GB emails to Entourage 2008.

My goals on archiving emails are:
1. To make mailbox less than 2GB on Exchange server
2. To make mailbox less than 2GB in the local Entourage database. Previously the other support person archived emails from Entourage to a local folder, but it is still part of the Entourage database on the MAC. Now I have EagleFiler, I hope that the Entourage database will be the same size as the mailbox on Exchange.
3. To make archived emails to be easily accessible. Previously Entourage archived emails can not be sorted by from, sorted by sent/received date, and it did not show up the subject line in the locally archived emails.
4. It will be wonderful if the EagleFiler archived emails can be copied and be viewed easily on another MAC computer with Entourage 2008.

Your help is very much appreciated.
