We moved over to Scalix a couple of months back and soon realised that archiving in Outlook no longer works i.e. it runs through fine, but nothing actually happens. From reading through the threads it seems this problem is known, but not considered a problem.
Unfortunately I have to say that I disagree - quite strongly. To be clear, is this being actively blocked by scalix, or has it just not been implemented? What stops the emails being moved from the mail store to the local backup PST. This can be done manually, why not in the archive feature?
Our users mailstores are growing rapidly and we really need to have a solution to this. User's wont completely delete even old email. They will begrudgingly accept archiving of old email if they have easy access to it. They don't care about it not being available in SWA and they are happy to back it up like other important locally stored files.
