How to manage huge outlook installs, folder info, auto archive, et

[BA]

Working with huge outlook files (years of storage) and effectively finding
folder sizes, setting auto archive settings to specific folder hierarchies,
etc is a huge pain.

Are there any utilities that would give an explorer view of outlook folders
along with the ability to effectively manage autoarchive settings for only
specific folder trees?

Is there a way to do this programmatically? Could someone give advice on this?

Thanks!

There's an old thread that discusses this in depth:

So is this still valid for 2007 and exchange? Are there not any third party
tools to manage this?

I would be interested in contracting someone to help out on this if not...

Yes, this is still valid for OL 2007 - it'd be easier to program, in fact.

There is a third-party tool as well:

AutoArchive Manager - Manage Outlook Auto-Archive Settings on Exchange
