Not quite. Compulsive Disorder Obsessive. Just like OCD except that it's in Alphabetical Order The Way It's Supposed To Be!
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Cheaper than paying you to search through umpty-zillion un-organised e-mails God only knows how many times, to find details that would be hard to find even if the e-mails were organised.

I don't use exchange server - I use Outlook and local files.
But...I archive a copy of my PST file every three months, and then delete everything older than four months before compacting it. That way, I can still get at all my old stuff, and Outlook doesn't slow down as the file grows. Works for me, but then I'm a bit paranoid about backups! 
The only instant messaging I do involves my middle finger.

Outlook still makes a local copy in the form of as .ost file, so you should be able to search offline.

You're forgetting about being able to take that data with you should you ever leave. I have a sweat gig worked out that has paid off having old emails (nothing like getting paid to attach a PST file, find an email from a year prior and send it off). 
Common sense is admitting there is cause and effect and that you can exert some control over what you understand.

I strongly suspect what you're suggesting would be grounds for firing if I was caught. (Moving company proprietary information onto a non company computer.)

Yea, there was no agreement of that nature in place. When I left, I just tossed the pst file on a thumb drive.
Fast forward a month and my old boss is asking for help with problems that where solved, just the code was never promoted....So here are the instructions for that again as I don’t remember any more.

Freudian slip, but it sure did feel like it at the time, lots of pressure...

I would read up on OST file if you use outlook as your mail client.
Effectively it does both. Stores them on your disk as well as the server.
advantage is that you have access to them if your exchange server is offline. But you can't send when you lose connection to the server either

In ur case if did the mail database was corrupt and couldn't be repaired. Having the OST files on the clients PC was a great help, we are now moving to Office 365 which should be an interesting exercise, I been been working on EWS and Azure.

Is Outlook 20xx not automatically set to cache mode at your company?

Apologies for making this a link to my blog, but there are 3 screenshots from the site that obviously can't go here.

As far as the P.O. Box thing goes, I guess that makes you homeless. Come to think of it, since this is a government agency, that would probably up your priority.

Sounds like bad design. Is there another field for residential address?
For example: when registering to vote here you cannot use a P.O. Box as your registration address. However, you can use it is a mailing address for mail correspondence. Now, of course when determining who you are, it should use your place of residence and not your mailing address. But not allowing P.O. Box for mailing is just bad design.
I wonder what would happen if you entered an APO or FPO if you were overseas for military service.

Why would they care if you use a PO Box?
I guess it makes it difficult to 'collect' you in the night if they don't know where you live.

Address Line Two:

Yeah, I tried that (putting in my actual physical address for line #1) and it still complained about line #2!

A comment posted on the Affordable Care Act/Obamacare FB page:
"I actually made it through this morning at 8:00 A.M. I have a preexisting condition (Type 1 Diabetes) and my income base was 45K-55K annually. I chose tier 2 "Silver Plan" and my monthly premiums came out to $597.00 with $13,988 yearly deductible!!! There is NO POSSIBLE way that I can afford this so I "opt-out" and chose to continue along with no insurance. I received an email tonight at 5:00 P.M. informing me that my fine would be $4,037 and could be attached to my yearly income tax return. Then you make it to the "REPERCUSSIONS PORTION" for "non-payment" of yearly fine. First, your drivers license will be suspended until paid, and if you go 24 consecutive months with "Non-Payment" and you happen to be a home owner, you will have a federal tax lien placed on your home. You can agree to give your bank information so that they can easy "Automatically withdraw" your "penalties" weekly, bi-weekly or monthly! This by no means is "Free" or even "Affordable.

Hey, guys.
I'm almost out of the writing cave. The new edition of Tribes is now on the street, rewritten from the ground up to talk about running & managing tech endeavors. Have Fun, Get Paid is in the final stages of review and that one should be out around the first of November. And then I sleep. 
If any of you are in a leadership role, here's the Kindle version (there's a paperback as well).
Unite the Tribes: Leadership Skills for Technology Managers (2nd Ed)[^]
Signed a two book deal and said, "Hey, let's use the same deadline for both." What was I thinking?

I have already bought my copy. Only problem is - I can't get my Kindle copy signed by the author.

Yeah, that's the downside of eBooks. For cute girls I can just sign the appropriate body part. In other words, you're on your own, mate.
