Archiving email

Dave Leicester

I've read a couple of posts in the newsgroup about archiving email,
however I still can't find out how to do this.
In Outlook I used to have a "Personal" folder which was either on a
server or on my local machine. This set up "PST" file which allowed me
to archive my emails but still be able to access them through Outlook.
How do I do this in Entourage? At present I have to manually select
the emails I want to archive and drag and drop into my desired folder
on my local drive. When I want to look at an archived mail I have to
come out of Entourage and go to the folder then double click on the
mail.
With regards to the answer on a similar subject the only "Export"
function I can find at the File menu is "Export Contacts" and there is
no guide to assist users in what they want to archive.

Please help.
Thanks in advance

The archiving most people are talking about is a new feature in office 2004
that allows the export of mails, contacts, events & tasks to an entourage
data file (with, optionally, the chance to delete the originals from your
database).

This is not exactly what you are asking for, which is the storage of the
information within entourage. This can easily be achieved by setting up an
'archive' folder in your folder list and moving mail older than a certain
date into it. You can easily select these items with a custom view.

So, I take it that Entourage 2004 doesn't do the same Automatic Archiving
that Outlook has done for the past 8 years or so.

I was really hoping that the 2004 version, especially the "professional"
version, would have included this - Considering that e-mail buildup in
"professional" environments is a REAL issue - with Exchange Servers and
such. This will likely push me back to either Outlook under Virtual PC, or
perhaps some non-Microsoft Exchange capable e-mail client.

Entourage works pretty well too, but w/out some of Outlook for the PC's
features, it's really no better than OWA - and OWA doesn't consume ANY of my
systems resources.
