Outlook 2002: Can I archive to network drive E ?

[Mr. Low]

Hi,

My Outlook has a default archiving function that saves the mails at the
archive folder located at drive C. When the volume in this folder becomes too
big, the files can become corupted easily and it coould not be reteived. IT
also affects the normal functionality of the e-mail services.

I am thinking of saving it to network drive E. At present I can only do it
by opening the e-mail and save it one by one. It is a pretty slow process .
May I know if there is a faster way of doing this ?

Thanks

Low

Working with active PST files on a network drive is not supported. You can
copy the archive pst files to the network drive once they are created, then
delete from the local drive. However, you should only do this for pst's you
won't be accessing as you can just as easily corrupt the pst on a network as
you can on a "full" C drive.
