Get
Rid of Space-Stealing Files in Outlook
I work
for a support help desk, and my tip helped reduce one of our
most common calls: mailboxes that have exceeded our
company's size limit.
When it's time to clean up their mailboxes, most people have
trouble finding and deleting the messages that take up the
most space, such as those with large attachments. Here's a
fast way to expose the space stealers hiding in your Outlook
folders.
To
create a customized search file in Outlook:
1.
On the
Tools menu, click Advanced Find, and then
click the More Choices tab.
2.
In the
Look for box, click Messages.
3.
In the
Size list, click greater than, and then type a
number such as 500 (for files that are 500 kilobytes or
larger).
4.
Select
the remaining search options you want, and then click
Find Now.
When the search is complete, you can save it as a shortcut.
Here's how: Click Save Search on the File menu
of the Advanced Find dialog box and save it somewhere you
can find it easily later, such as your desktop. Then, the
next time you want to run this search, just double-click the
shortcut.
