Outlook True Achive

SMSware are delighted to release Outlook True Archive; the ultimate archive tool for Microsoft Outlook PST files.

You may have discovered that Microsoft Outlook selects messages for archiving in an unusual way. Outlook determines the message age from the Sent date/time, the Received date/time, or from the message's "Last Modified" date/time, whichever is later. The following actions will change a message's "Last Modified" date/time:

  • Forwarding
  • Replying
  • Replying to All
  • Editing and Saving
  • Moving or Copying (depending on the destination)
This means that you reliably archive mail based on its sent or received date. Outlook True Archive is designed to workaround this "feature" of Outlook. Outlook True Archive's features include:

  • Select items by date received, date sent or date last modified.
  • Move / Copy / Delete matching items to the destination.
  • Preserves all message time stamps in destination.
  • Select source and destination for moving mail out of or back into your main PST file.
  • Choose to ignore or respect the "No Archive" flag.
  • Preview mode allows you to see totals before performing an archive.
  • Set the archive task priority to Normal, Medium or High.
  • Export messages to a disk folder in MSG format. Your folder structure is replicated.
  • Choose to arhive Unopened messages.
