Excellent points steeladept. I think I was probably ranting a little having experienced many frustrations of not easily being able to archive, while my mailbox continues to fill!

Thanks very much Carol - will check that product out.

Apologies - I did not make it clear. I cannot archive from Outlook in my company because, for some mad reason, the feature is disabled. So I was looking into the possibility of there being a utility that will archive them to another format. I mentioned nsf because of the convenience of it using a single file to represent logic and data, and it being easily transported home. I don't loathe the pst - I have only used it for a few months so don't really have an opinion one way or the other, but I am very familiar and comfortable with nsf, having used it in my organisation for far longer. (We recently made the switch from Lotus to Microsoft.)

Ideally I would like some easy archive solution that allows me to take the files offline and also easily be able to read it/search it at home. I don't use Outlook at home so I would prefer a format that I can read, such as nsf (I do have Notes installed at home)/txt/HTML. I don't mind losing the "richness" of the content.

I have never had a single corruption problem with nsf, having used it for 10 years+, which is why I personally am a big fan of the format (a dying breed from what I read!) Your idea is basically what I would love to see though.

Thanks for the reply (that URL is blocked at work here so will check later)

The "save as" is a possibility but ideally I would have a singel HTML fiel (maybe even an mht file) per email, as opposed to one long text file.

Any other ideas?

Thanks!

Hi

At work I am continually reminded that my mailbox quota is getting full (Outlook 2003). I don't want to delete any mails, but would rather be able to export them to another format and then archive them off locally.

Ideally I would like to export them all into a Lotus Notes database (a single .nsf file is attractive to me  :-[ ) but the only option is a $129 utility that I have seen and frankly I was hoping for something a little cheaper or, er, free-er.

So - does anyone know of any utility that allows you to export all or selected mails from an Outlook 2003 pst file to another archival format, such as HTML, XML or even flat text?

Thanks for reading.

Andrew
