How to archive folders from your Outlook account.

 

•   Open Outlook 2007. Right click in any folder that you want to archive and select "Properties".

 

•   In the account properties select "Auto Archive".

 

•   Select the option that says "Archive items in this folder using the default settings". After click the button "Default Archive Settings..."

 

•   Select options that best fit you and your job. You can run an auto archive every number of days that you prefer. When you run that, you can select to delete only folders that are 6, 7 or whatever months old. You can also select where you want to put the archived folders by clicking the "Browse" button. See the other options carefully. When you finish with the your preferred settings, click "Ok".

 

•   Click "Apply" to approve your preferred settings.

• To determine which biggest files to delete or archive are, you can always sort by the size column. If the size column is not available, you can add it by right clicking on the column headers, select field chooser, and drag “size” onto the header bar.
