Outlook full

[Wyobookkeeper]

When I try to move an e-mail or send an e-mail I am getting an error stating
that Outlook has reached it's maximum size. I have deleted many e-mails but
I keep many for business historical purposes. I have emptied the deleted
items folders. Do I need to Auto Archive? If so, can I archive by folder
instead of by date or item size?

Yes, you will need to archive. You can either use autoarchive and archive by
date or create a new pst and move items to it yourself (you can drag a
folder and its contents to the new pst).

Also - what version of Outlook? If 2003, you should create a new Unicode
pst - it doesn't have size limitations like the older format pst does.

I have outlook 2002, 2003 and 2007 and it works on all versions.

Plus I setup auto archive on folders this way I can control what is archived


Good luck

If your Inbox is a PST file, then you will need to compact that PST file
after you've deleted/archived a substantial amount of email (right-click

Of course, that doesn't address the original poster's problem.
