Archiving existing mail in advance (current Outlook users)

If you currently use Microsoft Outlook, before you set up HCL Traveler for Microsoft Outlook (HTMO), you might want to create a local archive of your existing mail. Once you begin using HTMO, by default, only mail that is 30 days old or less is synced locally to the client. Archiving older mail ahead of time allows you to continue to access it locally after you set up HTMO.

Procedure

To save existing mail in a local archive file, before you set up HTMO, from Outlook click File > Cleanup Tools > Archive.

What to do next

After you install and set up the mail client, complete the following steps to add the archive file to your mail client account:
  1. In the Account Information page, click Account Settings > Account Settings.
  2. Click the Data Files tab.
  3. Click Settings, specify the name and path to the archive .pst file, and click OK.

You can search for the archived mail if you select the All Outlook items search option.
