Workgroups occasionally needed to share Outlook e-mail archives. When a staff member was preparing to leave his or her position, ECN’s advice was to create an archive, copy work-related messages to it, and save it on a network share drive. This provided a way for staff who remained in the department to access the former staffer’s business-related messages and also for his or her successor to access that same  archive.

I wrote this documentation especially for workgroups who needed to share an archive.
