Hi,
I have about 20,000 emails of which about 1% of them have
attached word, excel, jpeg, pdf, powerpoint files.
The emails are located in about 1000 folders. The hierachy
of folders is maximum of 5 deep starting at the INBOX.
So.... the problem is that Outlook is running too slow now
and I have to figure out how I can organize these messages
into some form of system.
I have tried using CRM software but its much to cumbersome
and slow to use CRM software, secondly the software
packages don't allow me to create folders in the notes/history
files or to catagorize my emails in the way i have folders in
outlook.
What can I do ? Is it best to create some sort of ACCESS
database and export each folder somehow into the tables ?
Anyone have any ideas or recommendations ?

Print them and archive.... who needs that many emails - you are never going to read them in a life time.
Actually, no serious. In outlook you can make different data files. Put them in a different data file (see under file -> data file
management) and then disconnect from the datafile, make a backup of the datafile and store it somewhere safe.
If you need to search, read, or do something else with any of the emails then reconnect to the datafile, search for the ones you
need and bob is your uncle.
Success! HTH
Hi,
I already know about exporting pst files, however for 20,000 emails it takes
too long (10 minutes) and
i want the capacity to store it in an application with more power such as
CRM software, ACCESS or
anything but outlook which is not really that great for managing
information.

I imported message into access with success, it was indeed very useful. I think you can even, with some tweaking, just import them
straight from outlook (see import tables). This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics | |

Hi,
I'm using a thight integration with Outlook 2003 (with an Exchange server)
in my VB.NET (2005) application.
Until now I'm using the Outlook Object Model, but it appears to be very
slow, and has some problems:
- doing a Move changes the ReceivedTime of the MailItem
- I can't use RichText in the MailItem.Body (only allows plain text or HTML)
- some other stuff like having to use small 'tricks' to show the default
signature in an email

Hi all,
I need to get at specific (shared) agenda-data from MS outlook 2003.
I need every day to get the scheduled 'appointments' for some rooms to Access.
In Access I will show the time-periods that the rooms are booked for that day.
I know how to code all this in Access.
I can show some testdata for 5 rooms quite nicely on a form.
I never ever needed to use Outlook-to-Access before, so I need a good starting point to get the data.

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows.
