Properties of external saved emails

[Andy]

Hello all,

I want to save my emails of outlook on a server drive.
This works fine but with following problem:
All properties are gone, the creation date is the date I
saved the massage external and I have a hard time to find
a specific email.

Why are the properties of outlook gone when I save it
external? Does anyone a answer for this? Or can I save the
properties anyhow? Please understand I don't want to do it
manually.

You ask probably why does the guy want to save the files
external. He can let it in outlook and he is fine.
Unfornatly NO. For several reasons:
- My pst file will be 200MB after one year --> I think
thats too big
- To archive it is too much work to find it and to load
the archive. (My opinion)
- I would prefer to save all relatet emails, document
together on one place and archive it when it is done.
(I don't want to look through several archives to find all
information)
- Nobody else has access to my pst files. everybody else
should be able to read most emails. Especially not when I
am out of the office with my laptop.
- ...

Does anybody has a solution for my problem?!

Thanks in advance

Andy

Andy,

You can use OutlookExtract, www.outlookextract.com to extract and save your
messages to disk. It let you save the messages as MSG, EML, HTM, TXT or PDF.
The messages are stored with the following name format: [From-Id-Subject.*],
and the creation date is the received date. You can also schedule the
automatic extraction of messages at different time intervals.
Once extracted, you can view, search and organize the messages, without the
need to have Outlook installed, with the supplied viewer.

I want to save my emails of outlook on a server drive.

Why not create a new PST, save them to it, and copy the PST to the network
drive?

- My pst file will be 200MB after one year --> I think
thats too big

PSTs can be up to 1.82 Gb for all Outlooks prior to 2003 and 20 Gb for OL
2003.

- I would prefer to save all relatet emails, document
together on one place and archive it when it is done.

Put all related mail in the same PST.
