Archiving Problems
He wanted his mail setup so he could access mail away fom work so i configured his Outlook to work Offline.
When i set him up to work offline i archived his mail to his H
Mailbox (John Smith)
Archived folders
At first everything was fine.
Then he started experiencing problems and when he clicked on his archived folders it said inaccessible so i tried to import the H:Archive back into the archived folder within Outlook. However i got a msg saying can't import into the current folder.
What i had to do was create a personal folder and import the contents into there.
Now he has 3 mailboxes when he logs on.
Mailbox (John Smith)
Archived folders
Outlook Today (Personal Folders)
When he is logged onto the network sometimes he can't access his Archived mail folder (re-importing H:Archive normally fixes) However when i try to import his H:/Archive into the archived folder Outlook prompts "Can't import into the same location)
What am i doing wrong?
What i would like is for him to have only the following
Mailbox (John Smith)
Archived folders
Is the best solution to simply drag his emails/folders from his Outlook Today (Personal Folders)into the archived folder?
I have noticed Outlook for some reason does not seem to work that well when the .OST or .PST is placed in another location away from the default C:\Document Settings\username\microsoft\outlook...
Is anyone else experiencing this?
Please..Please..Help me end my archiving woes.
