I've recently moved my email across from OE to Outlook and am wondering
whether the old system I sued for archiving emails is as relevant and
whether there might be a better way of managing them.
In OE, I created a series of distinct folders for past years' inboxes and
sent items, and over the course of the last 5 years I have accumulated
around 30,000 emails in various folders, the majority of which I visit
weekly to retrieve old emails. This was easily manageable as OE created a
file for each folder, but I see that Outlook creates a single pst file,
which after I imported the old email structure from OE, now stands at a
shade under a Gb.
Can Outlook handle a file of this size? There's currently a 2-4 second lag
on opening emails, which I can live with. And I notice that there's an
archiving option, but I'm not clear whether that keeps the archived items
easily available or not. Before I click on that particular option, I'd be
grateful for a bit of guidance.
TIA
