Mar 2, 2016 at 13:10 comment added Hennes I though an ost file is just a cache. The only useful actions with it was to delete it if the disk got full or for emergency recorvery with third party tools. But completely unrelated to archiving things? More a [temp-file] thing.
Mar 2, 2016 at 12:43 comment added Raystafarian @fixer1234 yeah the outlook-archive says it's for .pst but it would be better if it included pst and ost, rather than adopting the pst tag, just make synonyms?
Mar 1, 2016 at 7:27 comment added fixer1234 The problem with [outlook-archive] is 1) it's been misused, 2) there aren't enough questions that use it properly to be worthwhile because too few people differentiate archives and use the tag, and 3) as long as it exists, it will continue to be misused. Some of the questions could be re-tagged [pst]. The ones about archiving are a sub-function of Outlook that probably doesn't need a separate tag. I'm for re-tagging the existing questions where they aren't already double-tagged with the right one, and then burning [outlook-archive].
