I have had computers for over 10 years now and have never used the archive
feature, I do not trust it.
If I have anything I want to keep then I either copy and paste into notepad
or word and save in my documents or I drag and drop the email from outlook
into a folder (named emails in) in my documents.
That way they are easy to back up on my external hard drive, to copy to my
laptop and to retreive at any future date.

What is this archiving about after all?

I have created new folders where I keep some emails.
What would happen if I archive that folder?
Why should I archive?
Will it make outlook work faster because some emails will not be directly
acessible but kept in archive in case of need?
