Outlook Archiving Capabilities

[Marsh]

Having just switched from GroupWise to Outlook 2007, I find some of the
features of Outlook to be inferior, or I am missing something.
In GroupWise I could manage the contents of my mailbox, all folders, by
manually Archiving items from the mail system to a folder in my Home
Directory. If I needed to work with a specific, archived item, I would "Open
my Archive" in GroupWise, Unarchive the item, thus moving it back to my
mailbox, and could then work with it. When I am finished, I could then
re-archive the item if desired.
Is this possible in Outlook (version 2007)?

Thanks
Marsh

This is an Exchange environment?

Since no one has responed, if your archive points to a local pst file,
usually named archive pst, you simply open this within Outlook -
File>Open>Data File.....browse to the archive file -
You can open any msg in the Archive & do with it as you wish, there is no
need to move the msg anywhere, the Archive Folder is just another data file,
named archive, containing archived data

I have a similar problem in MS Exchange Environment. I use MS Outlook 2003.
Our corporate mailbox has a size limit and in order to maintain this, all
older email are autoarchived to Enterprise Vault. Now, I want to download and
store all my emails to a local pst file. However, I understand that for the
archived emails in my exchange server, only the header/main text info will be
exported to the PST and in order to read any attachments etc I still need to
be online and connected to the server.

How do I un-archive from enterprise vault and store all my old emails to a
PST folder?

I can't help with Enterprise Vault, since I don't know what it is, but I can
suggest that you should keep your Exchange mailbox as the delivery location
and create a rule that will move anything using the form "Message" to a PST.
That way, only mail will get transferred to the PST. The rest will stay in
the mailbox.
