Entourage Email Archive X (EEAX) is a utility for archiving emails and attachments you have received or sent using Microsoft Entourage in Mac OS X. EEAX can archive your emails in seven different ways with further sub-options.
Emails backed up and restored One of the features of EEAX is archiving emails in native Entourage file format. The files with .eml extensions give you the possibility to restore one email or a group of emails, simply drop them back to Entourage at any time. This feature will let you restore archived emails even with future versions of
What's New
Version 6.1.0:
Fixed a bug under Mac OS X 10.7 Lion that occur if email subject contains slash character. Now slash character is replaced with underscore.
Improved errors checking if EEAX find corrupted emails in Outlook DB.
Minor internal improvements.
Requirements
Intel
Mac OS X 10.6.3 or later
Microsoft Entourage 2008 or 2008 Web Services Edition.
This is a terrific program for archiving huge email data bases. Coupled with FileMakerpro template provided with the program, it has amazing functionality. The developers assisted me even though it is the first time I used FileMaker Pro and made an impossible task go like clockwork.
In my experience, using the native Entourage tools has worked well. This is how I've been able to successfully archive my mail in a Time Machine and Spotlight-friendly way - http://blog.gingergeek.com/2009/06/how-to-archive-entourage-2008-mail-using-multiple-identities/
I have been registered and using EEAX since its pre-entourage days. It is solid, reliable.
Good points - author has responded and incorporated several of my usability suggestions and enhancements.
Product runs quickly, reliably -- I have used it mainly to store off text history of my many emails.
FYI, latest version 2.4 is primarily Universal Binary and added Unicode language support. Full details are in Help manual. (I will post here in separate msg for reference).

The 1st review is valid, but...
I had over 13000 emails to archive. I also wanted to not spend 3 hours in front of the computer manually archiving them. I also wanted to be able to have a VIEWABLE archive to EASILY look up a email if from a client if I had to. And fianlly I wanted a ONE CLICK delete all emails after the archive was created and processed.
Sure you might be able to do a limited version of thsi by what the reviewer says but it will not be a VIEWABLE archive...that alone is worth the fee.
I walked away and came back 1 hour later to have all my email archived. I also now have a easily scheduled archive program.
It works as stated and was rock solid. If you have to archive your email do yourself a favor and look into this software. I was very pleased

this is a great app. i've got a filemaker file containing all of my emails since 1998. it's fast and easy to search thru, and i archive and wipe entourage clean every three months, but still have structured and accessible storage of all my emails. the $15 is worth it, due to the way that this app makes this all very simple for me.

If you don't use the related app, you can't say whether it is expensive/useless, specially when we're talking about 15 bucks, which are a-pint-and-a-bocata-de-calamares.
I find very useful the ability to backup thousands of messages selectivelly based on their date with a single click, instead going across hundreds of folders and subfolders or a bad-organized search result.
I never said it was useless. What I did say is that Entourage provides a solid, easy to use, backup system that is built in. I suspect that the majority of Entourage users will find that what Entourage provides is adequate for their needs, once they learn about it. However if the extra features of this product make it cost effective for you to purchase it, and it provides a solution for you that the Entourage backup system does not, then by all means do so.
My comments were made to make people aware that they do not have to purchase this product or any other product in order to backup their Entourage data. That way others can have the facts to make an informed purchase decision, instead of being taken advantage of just because they may not be completely familiar with Entourage's capabilities.
I have recently gone thru the archive process and have stored them on our sever. But the archived emails are still showing in Entourage and on the email server? Do I have to manually remove the archived emails from Entourage? How can I also make sure the archived emails are not stored on my Hard Drive - I don't want it to slow down my MAC?
EAA X has been a great software, but unfortunately it is not working with the Entourage version coming with Microsoft Office 2008. No words on the developer site about an upgrade to fix that problem. Any news? TIA.
