Quickly send copied text and files

This is another one of my favorite “hidden features” in Outlook which allows you to send copied text or files without first creating a new message.
The trick is really simple but it will raise some eyebrows for sure from people not familiar with it.

Deleting large Calendar items

Looking at the folder size of my Calendar, I noticed that it takes up a lot of space. This is very well possible since I often store attachments with my Calendar items or receive Meeting invitations with attachments.

Now I’m looking for a way to locate the largest items and clean up their attachments.
Which method would be most effective?

Client-side and server-side rules

Using Exchange, I’ve created a rule and after I finished creating it I got a warning that the rule would be “client-only”. It also added the condition “on this machine only” by itself. I’ve disabled that condition but the rule still isn’t ran when Outlook is closed.
How do I turn it into a server rule?

Change default location for pst and ost files

I’d like to keep all my Outlook data in a different folder than Outlook uses by default. I therefore have moved the pst-file that Outlook automatically created to my custom folder.
I also have some additional pst-files in that folder which I occassionally use (and disconnect afterwards). However, Outlook keeps going to the default location when trying to create or add a pst-file.

Is there any way I can change the default to my own location?

Backup add-in remembers old location

I’ve use the Personal Folders Backup add-in to regularly back-up my pst-files. I’ve recently changed my backup location and also configured the backup add-in to use that new location. However, it still is looking for the old location which no longer exists.

How can I make the back-up add-in no longer look for this location?
