The only reason I see for archiving is if your backup strategy cannot handle backing up a single large database. I will say that, on the one hand, if the performance improvements are significant, and allow good performance with much larger databases, I will doubtless archive less frequently than I used to. However, I will still archive. FileMaker (the database engine behind eMessage Archiver, and also the archiving scripts that originated with Emailer by this same Dan Crevier) has search abilities that are still lacking in Entourage, such as the ability to combine AND and OR and NOT type searches--e.g. (From is Jones OR From is Smith) AND Sent Date is less than 9/1/01 AND NOT Subject contains digest. Maybe there is a way to do that specific example in Entourage, but I know I've run into the limitation of using either All criteria Any criteria. Plus, it keeps the main Entourage database size down, which speeds daily backups. -- Add me to Palm/Visor: http://signature.coola.com/?[EMAIL PROTECTED] Allen Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED] XNS name: =Allen Watson Applescripts for Outlook Express and Entourage: http://homepage.mac.com/allenwatson/ -- To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] To search the archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.boingo.com/
Re: Archiving from Entourage X ?
On or near 10/31/01 8:35 AM, ::. jay.west at [EMAIL PROTECTED] observed: Does anyone know if email archiving will be any easier from the forthcoming Entourage X? I'm just wondering if I should archive today using one of the existing Entourage to FileMaker archivers or wait a month or two for the new Entourage X and archive then? eMessage Archiver, by John Carlsen, works with Entourage 2001 and with Entourage X. John was among the beta testers for Entourage, to our good fortune. It also works with FMP 3, 4, 5.0 and 5.5! So, if you are running FMP in Classic and Entourage under OS X, that will work. In case anyone missed it, John now has available a copy of eMessage Archiver that INCLUDES FILEMAKER PRO as a runtime module. That is, you can use his FMP archive database, but you cannot make any changes or create other FMP databases. YOU NO LONGER NEED TO OWN FILEMAKER TO USE EMESSAGE ARCHIVER. The runtime is of FMP 5.0, so it will run in Classic under OS X, but that is a minor shortcoming, surely, to have access to such a superb mail archiving package. Go to http://homepage.mac.com/ThinkAgain/Mac/eMA/ to download. And be sure to pay the shareware fee! -- Add me to Palm/Visor: http://signature.coola.com/?[EMAIL PROTECTED] Allen Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED] XNS name: =Allen Watson Applescripts for Outlook Express and Entourage: http://homepage.mac.com/allenwatson/ -- To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] To search the archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.boingo.com/

Perhaps I'm missing something (I probably am, since I haven't read the docs). And I really want to love and use this archiving solution, especially when I upgrade to Entourage X. But... I downloaded version 3.03. I have FMP 5.5 installed. I'm running OS X 10.1. I fired up Classic, launched Entourage, and then opened the FMP 5.5 version of eMessage Archiver. I set eMA to archive Entourage in the little popup menus (lower right). I then went to Archiving Options and asked eMA to get my list of mailboxes; it asked me to first find the Script Librarian but then didn't show it in the scrolling list that OS X now provides (I assume this is an Applescript thing). So I selected Browse and found it that way. eMA then retrieved the list of mail folders from Entourage. I clicked the Archive button. eMA again asked me to find the Script Librarian, went off and did something, but it never archived anything. I had selected a folder to archive (my Inbox) and selected older than 0 days for current messages. eMA was in test mode. I've tried this a couple of times: relaunching Entourage, FMP, eMA, etc. It never archives anything. Does anyone have any idea what's wrong here?

Re: Archiving from Entourage X ?
Sherman, You should join the eMA-Talk mailing list (very very low volume) from the website where you got eMA, and you'll probably get John Carlsen himself solving this for you. People have not had trouble with FMP 5.5. I don't have it yet but will get it soon - I've had no trouble with 5.0 and eMA. -- Paul Berkowitz From: Sherman Wilcox [EMAIL PROTECTED] Reply-To: Entourage:mac Talk [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Wed, 31 Oct 2001 10:41:52 -0700 To: Entourage:mac Talk [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Archiving from Entourage X ?

The only reason I see for archiving is if your backup strategy cannot handle backing up a single large database. Anaother reason might be to slim down your email program. Older mail (say more than 12 months old) may be moved to a backup disk. For that, you can just drag folders to your hard disk to make MBOX text files, then delete them (or their contents) from Entourage. But if you think you will want search capabilities after archiving (otherwise you'd have to drag them all back temporarily into Entourage to search there), then an archiver such as eMA is extremely useful. -- Paul Berkowitz -- To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] To search the archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.boingo.com/
