Our company uses a MS exchange server to deliver email in Outlook. I also use
Good Messaging to read the same mail on my mobile phone. Because of mailbox
size limitation I need to archive on a very regular basis. I would like to
transfer my email to an archive account using rules but would only like to do
this after the mail is 24 hours old and therefore I have had a chance to look
at  it on my phone. Can somebody let me know how to do this (if at all
possible).
Thanks
Bob

In Outlook, hit the F1 key to get its help and search on "auto-archive"
(or just "archive").  Use the auto-archiving function already built into
Outlook to move out items older than N days old.

Sorry, my question was not clearly stated. I only want to do this for certain
people but leave the remainder of the email in the inbox. Your answer however
may have changed my thought process on how this can be done.
Cheers

Rules in Outlook only fire on an event.  For rules on inbound mails,
they fire only when a new message is received and as it is received.
They do not automatically fire sometime later, like after some N hours
or days after a message has been received.  You would have to manually
run a rule if you wanted it to run sometime after the messages have been
received.
