RE: Outlook Question(s)

["Rebecca Snyder" <rsnyder@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Chuck,

There's a backup utility for outlook called PFBACKUP.EXE.
You can find it on the microsoft web site or I can e-mail
it to you, it's only 184k. After you run it, it puts a
backup option under the File pull-down menu.  It saves everything in your
.PST file to another file. I backup mine up once a week, but I know others
who do it more often.  Also, outlook can do archiving which is a really cool
way to keep your
inbox, sent items, etc cleaned up. Archiving moves old
messages to an archive.pst file. My archive files is 390K,
but my main pst file is only 52K.

Let me know if you have anymore questions.

Rebecca Snyder

Hi Folks,

I have just about given up on Netscape and Netscape Communicator (email)...
Never thought I'd get to that point...

Anyway...:

(1) I knew what to backup on a daily basis with Netscape (i.e. bookmarks,
rules, prefs, address book, etc.) but have NO idea what this involves with
Outlook.

(2) I also knew how to copy the Netscape Communicator Inbox, etc. to save it
off and reinstall but, again, have no idea what this involves in Outlook.

Anyone have any experience with this ? I admit I have NOT scoured the MS
website(s) for this information (yet), so don't do that for me :-)

Thanks,

Chuck
