Exchange 2000SP4/Outlook 2002 SP2. Is it possible to have more than one
Archive file? Say archive1,2, etc? I have a users whose archive will
exceed the 1.8GB pst file size limit. Will both be visible in Outlook
Folder List?

Sure just make them some more and name them - they show in their folder
list.

Ah, but I still only see one Archive even though I have archived to
archive1.pst & archive2.pst.

Well view them then - depending on your version - file | open | browse to
it. It is there!

Thanks Judy.
Works a treat except that when I open the archive they are apparently empty
even though the pst files are a couple of hundred MB in size and the archive
process looked like it was running and it was sure giving the server a
caning (bit scary). What do you reckon?
Cheers,
Bill

can't tell from here - have a search for all .pst files (hidden ones too).

check your autoarchive settings.

Hi Judy,

I had a closer look and the folders in question did, in fact, archive. It's
just that this user has created an humungous folder structure to organise
his over 3Gb of *really important* email and has never archived, ever! Lots
of folders had 0 items in them but drilling down revealed content. Did I
mention he is also the CEO so normal user policies are out the window? He is
also self-confessed dinosaur in matters IT and proud of it.

What is definitely not happening is the archiving of his Sent Items folder.
I select Sent Items in the Archive dialog. Select items older than, say, 30
June 2005. Select Archive the folder and sub folders, include items with "do
not archive" checked. And create a file called "30-06-05 sent items.pst"
in the default folder and OK. Creates a file of that name in the folder
which is only 64kb in size and has nothing in it (really).
What the?
Cheers,
Bill

Have I been scuttled by the dread "modified date"? It looks like it! Is
there a way around this?
