Introduction Archiving is such a wonderful feature of outlook by which helps a user to create a free space in the without having a need to delete the items. By using this feature, a user can save the important items in his outlook and these items would not occupy the space in the outlook. Interestingly, the items archived will show up in the outlook however they do not occupy space on the in the mailbox. They go and sit in the archiving folder on the. Archiving can be done for both outlook items in mail folder and for calendar items in calendar folder. In this article, I am going to highlight the archiving part in outlook calendar.
It becomes very important to either delete or archive the meeting invites, appointments, etc in outlook calendar to free the space in the mailbox of the user. If the space is not freed, the outlook will stop working and user won't be able to send or receive e-mails. User will get Mailbox Size exceeded message while performing any activity in the outlook hampering any kind of e-mail communication. Under such circumstances, it becomes mandatory to either delete the e-mails which are not important from the mail folder or create Personal Folders (PST) and move the items in it and save the personal folder in some other location like either the network drive or C drive in the user's computer or archive them. If a user deletes an item, it would create a space in outlook, if chooses to move to personal folder, it also frees space but if he archives, it would show up in outlook in the same location and also frees space. It has been seen that outlook calendar items eat up a lots of space in the mailbox folder. A user involuntarily or unconsciously doesn't concentrate on the calendar items archiving part because not every day he plays with the calendar at work like he does with the mail folder.
These calendar items can be sorted with various criteria like date, size, subject, importance, etc. The best way to archive the items in calendar is to sort the items by size and archive the ones which are occupying more space. It can then be sorted with importance as most users would like to keep the calendar items for future reference in a professional environment. This scenario is very important and common as most users end up getting into a situation where their outlook stops working saying mailbox size exceeded.

Creating A New Outlook Calendar
Hi, I'm using MS Outlook 2003 and for some reason I'm no longer able to create new appointments in the Calendar. It was working fine yesterday. Outlook was just installed a week or so ago (from a server by an IT admin; it's a work account) and I barely have anything in there, so it's not a matter of the file size. I get no error message or any indication that something is amiss. When I right-click (or select 'new appointment' from the file menu or the 'new'.'
Appointment' button) and select 'New Appointment' nothing happens; no dialogue box, no error message, nothing. I've tried closing out of the program as well as running the 'detect and repair' option from the help menu, both to no avail.
