How to remove and archive Fax items

F

Fred Farzan

I am using Win-XP fax and Fax console. Do have Outlook2003 installed,
but using Fax through Fax Console. Version 5.1, Build
2600.xpsp2.030422-1633: Service pack 1

Currently have close to 1000 faxes accumulated during the last 6
months.
1- Need to know how I can move these items into an archive folder.
2- Fax Console upon startup, apparently tries to enumerate all items
in the Inbox folder of fax Console, and this takes a long time. How
can I optimize my INBOX folder to avoid this delay.
3- I have tried using WIndows Explorer to go and move Fax items form
appropriate Fax folder, but looks like all deleted items (that were
deleted in Fax console) still exist in this folder, and there is no
indication whihc ones are deleted items, and which ones are the ones I
intended to keep.
4- Is there any way to select multiple items in the INBOX folder of
FAX console, and move them into a different folder ??

Thanks
Fred

Faxes you have received are automatically archived in the Fax Console's
Inbox and faxes you have sent are archived in the Fax Console's Sent Items
Folder. You can easily access and save these folders from Windows Explorer.
The default location of these folders is:

<drive>:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\Windows
NT\MSFax\

Simply copy their contents into another folder.

I cannot reproduce that behavior.
Items deleted from the Fax Console's Inbox are also deleted from
<drive>:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application
Data\Microsoft\WindowsNT\MSFax\Inbox
