Hi and thanks

Getting an old dog to learn new tricks is one of the most difficult tasks I
have encountered so far
And I'm getting close to the sixties

Hi there

And thank you for the advice

I will try to get him to do this

But .............. :-)))


I will let you know how things get on

Good luck - one of the biggest parts of the
job is getting user's expectations in line
with technical capabilities.

You might be able to use the faster response
from his email program when he sorts emails
or searches them as a selling point - when it
only has to search 12 to 24 months' worth
it will be lightning fast compared to searching
eight years' worth. And there's nothing stopping
him from keeping everything over a year old in
one honking big archive file that stays open
in his folder list, the auto-archive can move
things there for him and since he'll probably
never seek anything in there he'll have it
accessible while still having fast response
from his usual PST.
