Outlook 2007 not archiving data

I am using Outlook 2007 with Exchange/CRM Outlook Client Desktop NON MSX
cached mode.

I am setting up Auto-Archiving to move older items (24 mths) to a shared
network location and renaming the archive file to 'archive-user.pst'

When I run the Mailbox cleanup and AutoArchive button, I completes the task
but does not move any emails. During the process it flashes between what
looks like a TEMP personal folder (which doesnt exist) and the archive folder
that gets created. Is this a bug?

Just reviewed a newgroup article that states archiving uses the modified
date. I noticed my received dates show year 2004, but my modified dates show
Jan 2008, when I redid the MSX Server. How can I get it to use the received
date (the practical way it should be)?

What triggered the change in the modified date? Can I duplicate that event
and trick the mail back to a earlier modified date? For example, highlight
all Received mail from 2005 and move/copy somewhere to change the modified
date based on a changed CLOCK TIME of 1/1/2005?

Of course I would prefer that Outlook uses the received date for archiving.
That is what the user works off of (outlook default view)

You cannot, archive works on modified date
Also MS doesnt support the use of a pst over a network - can cause
corruption

Good ol' unsuable feature. Of course, why would I want to archive important
data to the network? Why give the option to MAP the drive when you're
selecting the BROWSE... PST location?

Must be a personal opinion.

You can't and it's not "the way it should be" anyway.  If you were to modify
a message this morning would you want autoarchive to whip it out from under
you this afternoon just because the received date got a little too old?
Clearly the message is important if you've modified it, so clearly the
autoarchive process shouldn't touch it no matter when it was received.

Makes sense for Cal events and tasks, but not for email (the main reason to
archive). When would I ever modify an email message that would cause its
indexing/focus to change from its receive date to it's modify date? Even if I
move it to another folder, I would still reference it by its receive date.
Recieve date is the MAIN reference as shown by the default outlook settings.

Anyways, this is by design and thats the way it is. Back to the jiggidy jag
work around solution.

Try Outlook True Archive www.outlooktruearchive.com

It allows you to archive based on sent/received date.
