Outlook 2000: Any quick way of tranferring files to network drive

[Guest]

Dear Sir,

Currently when I want to transfer my e mail from archive folder or the mail
folders to E drive in MSG format, I always open the mail, go to File > Save
As > Message format > Save In Drive E to get the job done one email at a time.

When I need to transfer a large number of mails, this would take a long time
and need to do the repetitive steps for many times.

Is there any quick and simple way of doing this ?

Thanks

Low

Are you working on a network or at home (meaning POP3 or Exchange)?
If you're a home user, I would simply copy your PST to the E drive. If
you're at work, you could copy your emails to a PST and make a copy of the
PST to keep on your E drive if the E drive is on the network.

Hello Kathleen,

I am using the e-mail at work. May I know how to copy to PST ?

I know only how to archive the mails into the archive folders.


Thanks

You'll have to add a PST (personal folders) to your profile. Close Outlook
and use the mail applet in the control panel. Doubleclick on the mail applet
and click on add and scroll to personal folder. Make sure the default
location you set for the PST is NOT located on a network drive since Outlook
needs constant read/write access. If there is any interruption to the network
connection, the PST can corrupt.
Note that when using a PST with an older version of Outlook such as 2000,
there is a size limit on the PST of 2 GB. That being said, the PST can become
flakey or even corrupt once it hits about 1.5 GB or so. Around that size, you
should create another PST.
A PST must be kept on your local (C drive to be used. You should know that
most networks will not back up your C: drive so you must make sure to
regularly save a copy of your PST in your home or user drive if that is
allowed (ask your Network Admin). If it's not allowed, burn a copy to CD.
Should you choose to burn a copy to CD, in order to restore it if it's ever
needed you need to copy the PST to your local drive and remove the read-only
attribute before you can use it.
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to post back.

I take it you are moving emails to help you keep within your mailbox size
restriction?
