I have about 50 end users or more who are filling up there quota on our novell e-mail server. They all want to keep every single little e-mail that they have. I tried putting my pst file on a burnt cd and tried to import it in to outlook but i got some error saying " The settings to perform this action must be set before this can happen". Do you know the correct procedure in performing this action? Is there any way of putting e-mails onto cd-roms and then later on importing them back into outlook?
thank you!

Since archiving emails in this fashion is not feasible (if someone wants a message from a certain date, how will you retreive it efficiently?)you need to come up with an alternative solution. If increasing the quota is not execptible, perhaps requesting the oldest emails be stored to hard copy is, perhaps they will re-evaluate the importance of the messages. Of coarse, if this is still unexceptible, I suggest you contact Microsoft support with detailed information on what your trying to accomplish.

I have Outlook 2000 available to me, however the burner is not available to try this, so I can't give you any further insight.

When you burn a pst to a cd, it becomes read-only. Outlook cannot work with a read-only pst. You may try a cd-rw, or copy the pst back to disk and remove the read-only attibute.
