Problem with autoarchive feature

[Chris Webb]

Autoarchive has been working properly up until today. Now
it goes through the process of autoarchiving all my
folders and at the end of the process a dialoge box
appears with the following message;

"Errors occured whaile archiving. Look for a detailed
report in your Deleted Items folder."

Below is the information in the report;

Error while archiving folder "Inbox" in store "Personal
Folders".

Error while archiving folder "Sent Items" in
store "Personal Folders".

Error while archiving folder "Calendar" in store "Personal
Folders".

Error while archiving folder "Tasks" in store "Personal
Folders".

Any clue on what's happening here and how to fix it?

Well...there's your problem. The maximum size of Outlook 2003 .PST
files is 2GB and one of the SPs as I recall, installed a "limiter" that
kicks in around 1.8GB to prevent you from getting to that 2GB limit, at
which point .PST files have a tendancy to get corrupt and do awful things.

My suggestion would be to either clean a lot of old stuff out of your
archive file, or rename your archive.pst to "archive2.pst" and have Outlook
create a fresh new archive.pst file to continue from here with.

You could use OutlookExtract www.outlookextract.com to backup your messages
to disk or cd as single *.msg files. Once extracted you can use the provided
viewer (emailexplorer.exe) to organize, view and search the emails.
You also have the choice of storing the messages as *.eml, *.htm, *.txt or
Adobe pdf files.
