The key question is whether this is just HIS mail archive, or other people's
too.

If it's just him, Outlook itself has an archiving tool internally, can
filter by date and other factors to decide what gets archived and what stays
"live". The archives are just more Outlook .pst files, so easy to move data
between them.

There's also plenty of 3rd party tools for manipulating Outlook .pst files,
depending on needs.

If it's with other people's email too, it gets complicateder.

One option is just to outsource the whole archiving process to someone like
YourASP. http://www.yourasp.com.au/default.aspx?id=17 Disclosure: I
sometimes resell YourASP's services.

Happy to have a quick chat with your chap.
