Auto Archive Outlook For Mac 2011

I've written an auto-archive AppleScript for Outlook Mac 2011 to emulate what is available in Outlook Windows. It archives mail and calendar events. After configuring a few parameters in the script you can run it manually to test it or using Outlook for Mac scheduling tool you can get it to auto run daily. Open Outlook 2011. Go to the Menu, click File and select Import. Select the Outlook Data File (.pst or.olm) radio button. Click the right arrow in the lower-right corner. Select the Outlook for Windows Data File (.pst) radio button. Click the right arrow in the lower-right corner.

Hello, We use Exchange and Outlook 2011 Mac. I know we can archive mail to 'on my computer' folders. I know you can export a mailbox to a.OLM file. I am looking for a solution that equals that of the.PST file of Outlook 2010/2007.

In short, how do you archive mail and then backup only that locally saved archive? I want to be able to have that archive, know where it lives in the file system, and have the ability to back it up and/or transfer it to another computer. Any ideas greatly appreciated, how do you guys archive your Mac Outlook 2011 users and ensure that these archives are backed up? Hi, Thank you for using Microsoft Office for IT Professionals Forums.
