You can set archive options on the pst only
An Archive pst is the same as any other pst, only the name is different
Archive only works on modified date, when you move a msg to another folder
the modified date is changed to the move date
You can drag & drop msgs between folders or pst's

I could do that and get the bulk of my emails to the Archive pst. (Is
an archive PST any different from a non-archive pst?)
The problem I foresee, which may not be a problem, is if I have some
emails in my Exchange folder which I want to move to one of the
archive folders, would it be as easy as archiving them? Or can I just
drag and drop them?
Also, I just ran an archive on my pst file for items older than
4/1/2008 and it did not move items dated 3/31/2008 but created the
relevant folders. What gives?
-Thanks in advance!
