"...can the archives be saved outside of the .pst file..."
Archives are .PST files, so you can't save an archive outside of one. You can save individual messages as separate files (.MSG files) and they re-open as e-mail messages. Another way to reduce the size of a .PST is to save attachments as individual files and then delete the e-mail that originally delivered them. Again, it's rarely the number of e-mails that causes size problems as much as the size of the attachments.

Do you know how to see the size of each message?
