Outlook archive to new file

The following steps are for configuring Microsoft Outlook's archive feature. These steps are also useful for setting up a new archive file in the event the current file has grown too large.

PST files have a 2GB (gigabyte) limit. If your file reaches this limit you will lose data. Microsoft has steps to recover from this type of situation, but it is ugly and begins with chopping off the end of the file to make it small enough for the repair utility to recognize. There is no way to specify what data is kept or lost during this process.

Open Microsoft Outlook.
Click Tools and then Options
Select the Other tab followed by the AutoArchive... button
Confirm your settings and archive file name and path

If the file specified does not exist, it will be created automatically. This is handy in the case of a file that is nearing the 2GB limit. Just by adding a number (or letter) a new file begins receiving the archived data.
