ArchiveAssist 1.0

ArchiveAssist might be the solution if Outlook hasnt been performing as quickly as it used to, or if youve been experiencing unexplained crashes or freezes.

The .pst file is the single file which holds most of your Outlook data. As your .pst file increases in size Outlook can slow down and display other aberrant behavior, placing your data at risk. And if you cant archive, your .pst file will continually grow, increasing the risk. If youve tried to archive your messages only to find that Outlook simply wouldnt do so, ArchiveAssist™ might be the solution you need!

Lets say you want to archive all messages which are more than one year old. Youd prepare to archive, specifying the cutoff date before which all messages should be archived. If the archive operation doesnt succeed, however, its likely that Outlook has applied a Modified Date to the messages you want to archive which is after the cutoff date you specified.

In other words, even though the messages are more than one year old, Outlook has marked them as more current. The fact that you want to archive the messages doesnt matter to Outlook - its decided for you how those messages should be treated and it doesnt give you any control over your own data! Thats not our opinion of how software ought to operate.
