I've got a mailbox that receives admin logs. On the first of each month I
want to automatically archive all mail from the preceeding month into a file named for the month, i.e.; on August 1st I want to archive all mail from July to july08.pst. Can that be done with outlook 2003 or would that require a reskit or 3rd party tool? thanks, Bob |

If an item hasn't been modified for a specified interval (one month, seven days, etc.), then autoarchive will move the item to the archive PST. To accomplish what you describe would take code or a third-party tool, as you surmise. http://www.outlookcode.com/ has examples of code and, while I don't know that any third-party tools exist, you can start here in your search: http://www.slipstick.com/addins/housekeeping.asp . Some of the descriptions appear close to what you want. -- Brian Tillman [MVP-Outlook] |

Thanks, Brian. I'll look into the both the options you suggest. It also
occured to me last night that I could probably achieve similar results by simply telling outlook to autoarchive mail over 30 days and then schedule a task to run at the end of each month to simply rename archive.pst to yyyymm.pst with a simple batch file.

That should come close, although each PST may have items from the end of the prior month due to the variable number of days per month. -- Brian Tillman [MVP-Outlook] |
