Jim, I generally archive by creating a new identity, and moving all e-mail before a certain date into that identity. I currently have 10 years worth of e-mail stored this way (going back to when Compuserve had userIDs under 10,000). So my identities are NWF-1993, NWF-1994,...NWF-2002. -- Norman Ferguson | Dir. of Technology Services | Tekgnosys Member, Apple Consultants Network | Microsoft Certified Professional Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | iChat: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Ofc: 540-387-4422 | Cell: 540-819-4014 1917 Maylin Drive; Suite 103 | Salem, VA 24153 -- To unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> archives: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.letterrip.com/> old-archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.boingo.com/>
