Confusion exists in understanding where your folders and files within them go
once you've chosen to Archive them. When you Archive them, Outlook '07 will
create an Archive folder which appears in the navagation pane accordingly as
a .pst file.
Okay, I've got that. But...I'm under the impression that they've been taken
out of the mailbox area of Outlook 2007 and moved to another area of your
computer, such as the hard disk. This means you've reduced the size of your
Outlook 2007 mailbox, which is good for those who wish to clean it up.
Apparently, the Archive folder and files within it are just links to the
storage area, I believe on your hard disk, where these folders and files
within them are now stored and kept. If this is actually what is happening
when you Archive your folders and files within them then one can clearly see
the value in doing this periodically. For it will indeed reduce the need to
use up storage space in your mailbox.
The problem I see here is that the Microsoft training modules, although they
are trying to do a really good job, are not specifically defining this aspect
of what happens when you Archive your folders and files within them. Hence,
this question hopefully will clarify what is actually happening.
To all: Have a nice day.
