How to separate my e-mails from my calendar in MS-Outlook 2003

Hello

I use MS-Outlook 2003 for synchronizing my HP iPAQ PDA and to get e-mails
from Yahoo and other POP3 accounts.

I want to have one PST file for my calendar, which is coming from the HP
iPAQ and another PST file for my e-mails. This way when the PST file gets
bigger and bigger, from all these attachments sent to me by e-mail, I can
save it to a DVD and then continue with one original file for my calendar and
a new brand new small file for e-mail.

I checked the option to have e-mail delivered to a different PST, but it
seems that this also made the calendar also move to the new locations. I
named the file E-mail Personal Folders.pst with a file size of about 10.5 GB
and put it in a folder called E-mail PST File, and I have another file in a
folder called Outlook.pst in PST File with a file size of 265 KB and both
these files have the same dates and time only a second or two different.

I can't tell which is getting updated when I get e-mail? because the time of
access is almost the same.

I tried to rename the E-mail Personal Folders.pst with a file size of about
10.5 GB file to something different and I lost my calendar?!

Any ideas will be greatly appriciated.

Thanks

use rules to move all email to a different pst.

Thank you Diane for your reply.

I chose to have my e-mail delivered to an alternate location, I assume that
means an alternate PST file, and I do have two of them, but I keep losing my
calendar each time I move the larger PST file to a DVD and start from a new
PST file.

Could you please send me instructions on how to use a different PST file?

Thanks Again

don't move - copy then delete the older message or just use archive to keep
it smaller.

If you are using the new pst format in outlook 2003, the pst can grow to 20
Gb or more so there is no need to worry about losing data if it gets too
big.
