If you really want to archive things you have to write them to a non-changeable media and still should be able to retrieve it. This is what we're doing with e.g. Exchange. You archive the email so that only a reference stays on the server (and on the client) and if you want to read the email later it's retrieved from the archive server. _But_ as this is a big commercial solution I do agree with Ingo here as this is probably the cheap way to go.
