Help to Store users e-mail on Server Not Local Drive

[trotter]

I was wondering if anyone knows how to relocate e-mails.
I have an NT Server4with 30 gig of room, users are on Outlook for e-mail, at the moment there email is stored on thier local C drive after reading them.
My dilema is I need to back up all the e-mails in case thier local c drive crashes and the e-mails are gone. Presently are mail Server is off site , so when a user retrieves mail it gets stored locally.
Any ideas... maybe map the.pst files to a network drive......
Thanks.

Do not use personal folders in outlook. Go to the control panel then mail Icon. When it comes up go to the properties of the exchange server (I think its there). Change the delivery from personal folders to the users mailbox which should reside on the exchange server. James Collins

From Outlook:

Tools
Services
Click on Personal Folder (if one doesn't exist add one)
Click properties
In the path entry line enter the location of
your .pst file.
ex. \\ServerName\Folder\YourPersonalFolder.pst
