    4. in the Archive file box, browse to your U:\My Documents\Outlook Files or whatever folder you want the archive to be in. Note: we suggest that it be on a network drive so that it gets backed up.
  4. Click OK and the Archive file will be created and attached to Outlook.
  5. The Archive process will then run using the settings you previously entered. All email received before the date you selected will be moved to the Archive file. If the email being Archived is in a folder named John Doe, it will be stored in a folder named John Doe in the Archive file. If a folder does not have email old enough to be Archived, the folder will not be created in the Archive file until it does.
