PST archive solution - How to archive emails efficiently

pst archive software

One of the big problems with emails is the quantity and the desire to keep everything! Outlook offers tools to efficiently archive your mailbox. Here is a tutorial to avoid saturating your mailbox and maybe you will not even have to ask your favorite computer specialist anymore :). You will be able to pst archive outlook 2011. Practice not?

Why PST archive your emails with Outlook?

In most companies, you have a more or less large quota on your mailbox . On average it is 2GO (I have already seen cases where it was 500 MB). So if you receive a large quantity of emails per day, you will have to archive your emails to avoid reaching this quota!

Outlook offers powerful archiving functionality to lighten your mailbox.

It is even much more efficient than its competitor Thunderbird.

Manual method to archive emails with Outlook

Open Outlook

  • 1 – Go to the File menu:
  • 2 – Choose your email account then go to tools.
  • For 2016 choose cleaning elements
  • For 2010/2013 choose Archive
  • 3 – A window opens and asks you to define a place to store the archive and a date.
  • You must define a date for which we archive the previous elements as well as the place where the archive will be stored.
  • OK to start archiving, you will see a message appear at the bottom of your mailbox.
  •  For more efficiency remember to select the mailbox (highest item in the folder list). So you will archive the elements for the whole box and not for a particular folder. [/ Box]
  • The process regenerates the tree structure of your mailbox to easily find your messages.
  • Your archive can be viewed directly in your Mailbox under the name Archives (you can rename the name).

All are classified so you will find sent messages, deleted messages, and the rest of your emails from your inbox as well as its subfolders.

What you need to know about Outlook archiving

PST file size

The archive file in PST format must not be colossal in size! Microsoft indicates a limit of 50 GB except that in practice if your archive is corrupted you will use lead shots to repair it.

Ideally, 5GB is the max so you have to take a look from time to time to your PST file.

Depending on the number of emails received, it may be wise to make an archive per month? per year ? per quarter?

Accumulation of archives

The more files there are to add to your Microsoft Outlook, the more resources it will take up. Similarly, the larger it is, the more it will draw on the hard drive or the network.

It may not be necessary to “mount” the oldest archives.

Saving the PST

Be careful generally we store the PST on the local hard drive of the PC remember to make a backup on an external disk/server.

Other methods to pst archive outlook 2016   

 

The above method is the most reliable in my opinion:

  • You can use your email
  • You have a clear tree structure of your archive
  • You have defined a precise date for archiving

Other methods include:

  • Automatic archiving, it is possible to automate archiving but be careful because we do not really know what is done day to day but it allows us to no longer worry about archiving. 
  • Create a PST file then drag and drop or move the emails from his mailbox to the archive.

With the popularity of Microsoft 365 and its online Exchange solution, archiving your email is different. You already have mailboxes with large storage quotas (50 GB minimum) but also an archive box. Archiving is therefore done automatically according to the settings defined by your administrators.

By default all emails are archived after 1 year, the principle is the same as for classic automatic archiving.
