I do not want the mail on the Exchange server

Entourage 2004 Where have my .psts gone?
Well another client and the feature set gets shuffled again.

OK. Outlook aka Entourage mail has to sit on the Exchange server.
This does not fit within my company's policy. They support .psts.
Is there anyway to automate the client to drop the mail to a local
folder
once Entourage has opened?

Or do I need to look at other OS X solutions for Exchange access?
Last time I looked there were not many options.

Thank you for any assistance

Entourage data is stored in a file called the Database. It's located here:
/Users/<Your User>/Documents/Microsoft User Data/Office 2004
Identities/<Your Identity>/

When doing a backup said:

You could create a rule to do this. Go to Tools > Rules, click the
"Exchange" tab, and click "New". Create a rule like this:
* Execute actions if any criteria are met
IF Folder is INBOX (<Exchange Account Name>)
THEN Move Message Inbox

Then all mail messages received to the Exchange Inbox will be moved to the
Inbox under "Folders on my Computer", meaning a local copy will be made and
the original will be removed from the Exchange Server.

You might want to make a similar rule under the "Outgoing" tab for sent
mail.
* Execute actions if any criteria are met
IF All Messages
THEN Move Message Sent Items
