Just the other day a co-worker of mine wondered if there was a way to have Entourage (she’s using 2008) automatically archive messages like Outlook does (we run Exchange on the job, which stores all your messages on the server; you run the danger of going over your quota if you don’t archive things to a local mail store from time to time).
