Archive Outlook Files

If you use Outlook with any regularity, you quickly discover that the sheer volume of e-mail messages, calendar entries, and other Outlook items can prove overwhelming. To mitigate this, Outlook automatically archives old files. If the default settings for this automatic operation do not suit you, you can change them. You can also archive items manually.
