Please let know if someone could give some insights and tips regarding
archiving and organizing the data folder in Outlook 2002. My PST file
has grown immensely large over several years of Outlook usage. In the
past, Outlook archive feature was abrupt and unintuitive. It often
placed items in the archive pst without allowing the user to rollback
any changes. It did not create a log file or delete the archived items
from the current pst. It also created duplicates if you accidentally
ran the same filter twice. So verification and fixing erroneous data
was a pain in the butt.
Basically, I need to archive all folders according to year and
subdivide the tasks and email into appropriate folder categories.
These archived pst should be transferable to my laptop as well. In
addition, I would like to optimize Outlook, so it runs faster and more
robust.
This inquiry is less about the "How-to" portion. It relates to
suggestions on efficient and effective Outlook data management; and
how to avoid the common annoyances found in Outlook.
How do you remove duplicate entry in the archive folder? Do I need a
specific Add-on product?
How do you rename the Archive Folder with a more useful name (like
Archive 2002 or Archive 2003)? Do you rename the filename (*.pst)
itself?
How do you streamline the pst file to expedite sync the pst between
computers? Generally, I copy the pst from my desktop to my laptop. But
the process takes a long time with a 150 mb pst file.
