atw: Re: auto archive

I set up all my mails to go to my hard drive - one .pst for each project, so 
when it's dead and gone I can remove it from view in Outlook, but the file and 
emails still remain on my hard drive for future reference if I need them. I use 
rules to automatically move the mails, which works for about 95% of them.

Only thing is to remember to periodically back up the files from the hard drive.

I receive a vast volume of emails with attachments, my server space would maybe 
last a week if I didn't do this.

In Outlook AutoArchive is a good feature. It can remove emails from the mail 
server and put them on a local disc.

The settings for it are in one of the Menus. Shouldn't be too hard to find. I'm 
using 2007 so it's probably different.

Some server admins only give you a certain amount of space, so AutoArchive is 
convenient as it runs periodically and you don't need to worry about running 
out of space on the mail server.

AutoArchive creates an 'Archive' folder in your 'Mail Folders' list. This can 
be accessed, searched and sorted like any other mail folder.

Archive makes a COPY and does not remove anything.  It makes a backup copy.

I usually have it on in other products, but don't use Outlook by choice.

I frequently get a message asking me

whether I want to auto-archive now.



I have no idea what auto archive is



That is the first step: knowing what it is

ie:         what does it remove from where and

where does it put it?



The second step would be

knowing how to retrieve items

knowing how to delete archived items



Does anyone know this?
