allow subfolders to be distinct items in the desktop directory

J

jwpd

my suggestion is primarily for backup and restore options. I use the
folders much like a directory structure to manage work , such as projects or
topics of discussion or problems being worked on.

so I have a PST name Projects CLOSED and Projects open, with the next layer
being the actual project and then subfolder below that for further details of
each project, such as meeting notes , status reports , etc...

The issue is trying to do a backup. As more projects get closed that PST
gets very large and will take a long time to backup, rather than just adding
the new project folder that was closed, obviously a full backup has no issues
as it will always backup everything no matter how it is stored.

Also in a recovery, it may be nice to bring back 1 Project instead of a
whole PROJECTS OPEN PST and then have to move the files and then delete this
file again.

I'm not sure what impact this would have to performance of outlook.

You know you can use File, Open, Outlook Data file to open any pst and look
at the data in the pst without moving files into the mailbox pst? Use Ctrl+6
if you can't see the pst in your view.
