You can obviously backup this archive. You can also set the outlook client to use IMAP but there's no way to prevent people from creating local *.pst files and copying mail there. Be aware of the legal consequences of backing up e-mail. In some jurisdictions you may need to provide a written statement to all your employees that states that the e-mail system is corporate property and you reserve the right to read all mail passing through the mailserver. Backed-up e-mail can also become a tremendous liability in a wrongful dismissal lawsuit. Stored e-mail was used to find against Microsoft in the recent trust-busting lawsuit. COnsult your company attourney before doing this - it may be best to have a policy of deleting all e-mail over 90 days old, and deleting all e-mail immediately on notice of termination of an employee.
