One of the really nice features introduced with Internet Explorer 7 and Microsoft Outlook 2007 is the ability to subscribe to RSS Feeds and share the feed list between the two applications. This makes it really easy to access Feeds offline and monitor when new content is available, but there is a hidden monster. If you don't pay attention to your default Archival settings in Outlook you may be archiving a ton of content that you have no intention of saving. This can lead to PST files that run in the Gigabytes. In my case, I was able to shrink my archive by almost 2GB, which for most people is a huge savings. The resolution is really quite simple... All you have to do is set the archive settings on the RSS Feeds folder to Do not archive items in this folder. Do this, and you will be much happier... Cheers!
