AutoArchive Email


All staff are strongly recommended to set up the email auto-archive within their email Outlook client after the user mailbox storage quota policy was enforced on April 2010.  When configuring the email auto-archive, email will be stored locally in your PC automatically upon the autoarchive settings.  For the important messages, we recommended to perform a regular backup to another storage media with password protection e.g. DVD-ROM , external USB storage disk, etc.  Please refer to the 'Outlook AutoArchive Guide ' at CPCE Portal for the detailed configuration.
