Strategy for Saving E-mails?

[Chuck Humphrey]

I would appreciate being pointed to sources that discuss strategies
for saving and being able to locate emails that I send and receive.
In Word, for example, I create folders and sub-folders to store
correspondence for individual clients and different matters pertaining
to that client.

In Outlook 2003 the e-mails are saved as an overall part of the single
file. I know I can create separate folders, but I am curious as to
the best thinking on how to accomplish the goal of saving and finding.
Is there a way, for example, to co-ordinate the folder used in Word
and that used in Outlook 2003.

What many people I know do is to create additional Personal Folders files
based on the age of the informaiton or the subject matter. Whatever
criterion works for you is what you should use. They then move the
appropriate messages to the newly-created PST files and then close the files
in Outlook. They then burn the PSTs to CD and remove them fron their HDD.
If they need to reference them in the future, then put the PST file(s) back
on the HDD and reopen it.
