Apologies if this has been addressed, but a search didn't turn up
anything. Outlook 2003. Is there a way to save older messages, i.e., archive them, without actually deleting them out of outlook? Unless I'm mistaken, archiving moves the designated messages to the selected archive pst file, right? But what if you want to do this to save them offsite, for example, yet keep the messages handy for easy reference? Is this doable? I'm thinking probably not, but hoping  TIA elaine charlottesville, va |

Hmm, I'm sorry if I wasn't clear. May I assume that you mean this is
just a way to OPEN the pst file to look at messages?? I was hoping to find out if there was a way to keep the messages in their various original inbox/personal folders, as well as in a PST, because unless I'm mistaken, the archive process would have removed them from those original inbox/personal folders, right? I'll play around with this tho, because it may work for our purposes.

you can either manually copy the messages you want 'archived' to a pst or
just copy the pst to the backup site and backup the entire pst. The problem you'll run into when you copy is that you'll have a lot of duplicates unless you mark them in some manner... all of which takes time. I suppose if you move them to an 'archived' subfolder after copying them it might help... -- Diane Poremsky [MVP - Outlook] Author, Teach Yourself Outlook 2003 in 24 Hours Need Help with Common Tasks? http://www.outlook-tips.net/beginner/ Outlook 2007: http://www.slipstick.com/outlook/ol2007/ Outlook Tips by email: dailytips-subscribe-(E-Mail Removed) Outlook Tips: http://www.outlook-tips.net/ Outlook & Exchange Solutions Center: http://www.slipstick.com Subscribe to Exchange Messaging Outlook newsletter: EMO-NEWSLETTER-SUBSCRIBE-(E-Mail Removed) "epack" <(E-Mail Removed)> wrote in message news:(E-Mail Removed)... > Apologies if this has been addressed, but a search didn't turn up > anything. > > Outlook 2003.
