I have a hierarchy of email folders in Personal Folders on my workstation
from the days when I was using POP3 as the protocol for Outlook. (These are
not the standard Inbox, Sent Items, Deleted Items, etc. folders, but they are
folders I created specifically for my job assignment.) Now that I am using
Exchange server, rather than POP3, would it be better to move those folders
from the Personal Folders node into the Mailbox node that was created when I
migrated to Exchange server? What would you guys do - move them or leave them
where they are?

How big are they? Do you have storage limits on the exchange server? If you
move them to the server, you will have access to them from any workstation or
remotely, if that is available, also, assuming the exchange server is backed
up, they will get backed up too.

I would leave them there and use the PST to keep my Exchange mailbox size
under the limits that our Exchange managers impose. We get no more than 50
MB per mailbox.
