NOTE: When you open Outlook for the first time after installing the Archive Manager Outlook Add-in, it will take longer than usual because the Add-in is loaded and configured automatically. When you open Outlook the next time, the interval will be shorter. The Archive Manager toolbar is also listed in the File > Options > Customize Ribbon window. All Outlook Add-in actions are logged to a log file located in the %AppData%\Quest Software\Archive Manager\Log\Archive Manager folder.
