ZipOut Scheduled Tasks

ZipOut uses the Windows Task Scheduler to schedule routine tasks such as attachment indexing or compression. ZipOut lets you create a Compress and Index task which you can run on a daily basis. Since ZipOut uses incremental indexing, indexing is quick and does not interrupt you normal work in Outlook. To ensure that your index is rebuilt periodically, you can schedule a Rebuild Index task on a weekly or monthly basis.
