Re: [Evolution] archiving ms exchange email with evolution?

["Carlos Lugo" <carloslugo gmail com>]

No, that would work nicely.  My purpose is simply to create an
exhaustive archive of office mail, searchable when necessary but
separate from the overall mailbox size.  I'm embarassed that your
solution hadn't occurred to me-- i hadn't even expanded the "on this
computer" section until you mentioned it.

Incidentally, i figured out the 100% CPU issue:  there appears to
be a single folder that triggers the problem.  The puzzling part is,
the folder isn't one of the three largest.  Perhaps a corrupt message
is  causing the client to hang?
Regardless, good to know that the client isn't at fault.

Thanks for the tip, Art-- i'll do this today!

I have been thinking about this as well.  Even if the archiving itself
occurs on another [windows] machine, I don't see a way for evolution to
access the archive.pst.

One idea I had — which may or may not be satisfactory for some — is to
move mail to the local "On this Computer" folders with filtering rules.
That may or may not meet your backup requirements depending on how you
back up your local data.
