I have several users who are less conversant with Outlook than they would
like to be and I do't have time to create a "how-to" manual from scratch.
What they need to learn is how to archive their email and get it off my
servers and onto their local machines. We are literally running out of
space
and some of the users have emails going back to 1998!
Hi Pual,

All these websites offer solutions for managing the pst file.
I stopped keeping my e-mail in Outlook, it became to slow and I had a
double archive: one in Outlook and one on my file system
(d:\data\projects\..)
Now, all my e-mail is saved in folders on the file system.
On this very moment, my outlook.pst is only 25 MB!

So you can also create a shared folder in your file system for every user
and store all emails in the file system. You can move your emails with your
mouse into this folders on your harddisk.
I prefer the Microsoft archive solutions, because they will work atomaticly.
