archiving?
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? |
archiving?
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. "exciter" wrote in message ... What is this archiving about after all?

Hi exciter,
have a look on thsi sites for some general information about "archiving": "AutoArchive" http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/ou...564651033.aspx I have created new folders where I keep some emails. What would happen if I archive that folder? You can select different settings for the "autoarchive" function, e.g "if your emails are older then 4 months, move this emails into an archive.pst". Your emails which are older then 4 months are moved automatically by Outlook into a seperate PST file. Why should I archive? If you get a paperletter, do you store this always in your postbox? I make "two holes" in the paper letter and "archive" this in a hardbox folder. Why do not make the same with E-mails in "archive" or backup PST files? I use a new archive PST file for every year. There is no reason to store old information in an actual folder. If you search an email that you get 3 months ago, why do you search also in the last 5 years? If you archive our emails, you reduce the size of your PST file and your Exchange folders, if you would use Exchange. If you use Outlook 97-2002, the limit of your PST file is 2GB. Will it make outlook work faster because some emails will not be directly You will "find" your information faster. Your backup is faster. acessible but kept in archive in case of need? Yes. How to?
