I am using Outlook 2007 with the latest patches/SP applied, on Win XP
Pro also with the latest patches applies.
I am connecting to Exchange Server 2007, presumably with the latest
patches applied because we just got migrated from Exchange 2003 to
2007 (last month).
For the past year I have been manually moving messages from my
Exchange mailbox to a local pst file where I recreated the folder
structure which exists on my Exchange mailbox. This was my way of
keeping the Exchange folder size in control as well as knowingly
moving messages.
I chose this option as opposed to auto or manual archiving because
there are certain folders ("HR" for example) where I would like to
keep all messages on my Exchange mailbox so that it is available from
the web any time.
The problem I have now is that my local pst folder is 2.6GB and very
soon, I am afraid Windows wil not be able to support the file size.
So, I would like to keep monthly copies of my mails in separate PST
files, keeping the folder structure intact. Then I could create Saved
Search folders to go across the multiple files in order to search
across those files.
What is the best option for me to get appropriate messages out of my
pst and Exchange folders into time-bound pst files?
I have tried doing a search for a certain timeframe but I cannot limit
the search to a certain mail file without restarting Outlook, which is
quite painful.
I could try exporting from my pst file with date filters, but I am not
sure what would happen if I export from pst for a certain timeframe
and then export from Exchange folder with the same timeframe into the
same file.
Any help would be appreciated.
