EML versus PST in e-mail programs

Franz,

I do that already - the archive.pst is 6 GB, current e-mails the other 2 GB. For various networking reasons the archive is also on the lap top, which causes disk space issues.

I’m just brainstorming really - wondering if there’s a better way, as e-mails tend to be isolated away from other information that needs managing. Programs like Everdesk (which on my systems just explodes when it tries to import the hundreds of thousands of e-mails I have stored) tries to resolve this (by associating individual e-mails with the file system), as does Chaos Intellect (by associating e-mails with contact names) ....

In my set up it’s more of a problem because e-mail is away from my main PC - so I was cogitating if at least the archive might usefully be dumped there (and be searchable ...)
