Hi

As some of you guys suggested to use MS outlook instead of outlook express, here I am and being new to it I have some questions.

User in our network is using outlook express and it has folders like "send item" this way user can keep track of to whom they send email and when I look at ms outlook I didn't find send folder. I am sure user will say they need to have send folder, I was wondering if there is something like that and that works as send folder in outlook express?

I was also wondering if there is way to save archeive(backup email) outomatically in different name. e.g. I set up email to back up if it is older than six month now I want to back them as different file. say 1st backup will be o6-2000 and next one will be 12-2000 and so on....)

Thank you again

Regards
Ashok

Hello Ashok

MS Outlook has the folder you need, Sent Items. You can access it through folder list. To see the folder list, on the menu choose "View>Folder List".

For archiving your e-mail I suggest you let autoarchiving use its default file (archive.pst most likely), and you manually archive whenever you want to.
To do that, while in your Inbox, go to File>Import and Export>Export to a personal folder file (*.pst)>select the folder that you want exported and whether you want its subfolders>save exported file as (here, name this archive appropriately)...
Just follow the instructions given in dialog boxes, and you should be fine.

Hope this helps
Regards

Just wanted to point out that it is very easy to keep separate file names by going to the location where you've archived and rename the file to whatever you want. The next time Outlook archives it will create a new file if one doesn't already existwith the name specified in settings.
