Multiple Outlook Profiles Open at One Time

[Patty Reid]

Hi,

I pull mail from an Exchange server (through POP) - to
keep it on my own box. However, I need to save most
items - thus I run into the large .pst file. I have
thought about setting up a new profile every three to six
months - but I always need to access my older mail. Is
there a way to open more than one instance of Outlook - to
different profiles at one time?

Or does anyone have any other suggestions. I've tried
other files - on the outlook bar - however they are not
configured like email messages.

Thanks,

Patty

Multiple profiles would be overkill here. All you need to do is archive
your data to other .PST files periodically. You can use Outlook's
built-in AutoArchive feature for that (search the Help file for
AutoArchive), or you can manually create .PST files using File | Open
and then drag and drop items between the .PSTs. .PSTs can be opened and
closed from active use at any time, so it's very easy to access your old
data when you need to.
