How big is your Inbox?

[TurnedTheCorner]

Assumig your company uses an Exchange Server, you should be able to archive emails from your Inbox into Personal Folders using the File --> Data File Management --> Add path.

Organize your Personal Folders how you like, set up as many as you want, and the emails in there are stored where you save them. Most companies would have a networked drive system where corporate IT automatically backs up data, so ensure your Personal Folders are saved there. It should take just a few minutes to set up Personal Folders in Outlook.

Every email I've archived since I started at my company in 2002 is archived on my network drive and it's take up less than 10 GB of hard drive space. And that's got to be messages numbering in the hundreds of thousands.

There were 3,500 emails in my outlook work inbox. this thread inspired me to organize things a bit. I've created a bunch of folders and created rules to filter the messages I get most.

I remember Ted Danson (Whoopie's ex) saying that her's was so big it was like thowin a weiner down a hallway.

I was tempted to make a joke like this when I say the thread but I thought Dobbles would say it was okay and then EG's head would explode and none of us want that so I put down that 10 foot stick.

i assume you replaced 'user' with your user name? its in a hidden folder, so it can be hard to find. thats why i provided the path. there will be several files in there, but as long as you get the large file, you will at least be able to import it in the future.

Sweet tag.

If you use Outlook instead of backup up the OST C:\DocandSet\username\local settings\appliocation data\microsoft\outlook (must show hidden files as the local settings folder is hidden by default).

you should be periodically either archiving your inbox to a PST file or creating PST files to store email.
