MS Office Forum / Outlook / New Users / July 2004IMAP Archiving?
Hi, I have set some of my IMAP folders to be automatically archived, but nothing happens... Not even when I push this manually. What can be wrong? Best regards, /LS AutoArchive works on the modified date. See if this clarifies your results.

I have messages thar are several years old, but they don't get archived even though I have set my time limit to a couple of months?!? Regards, ***Lennart > AutoArchive works on the modified date.

AutoArchive works with this data. Moving a message for instance changes the modified date.

I haven't touched the files, so their time stamp should be intact. However, the folders that I have marked pops up under 'archived folders', but not their contents... Isn't that strange!?! ***Lennart > Yes, but if the modified date (so not the received date) is of today (or any > other date after the AutoArchive settings) and the AutoArchive is set to [quoted text clipped - 42 lines] > >> >> > > >> >> > /LS Check the individual items; not the folder.

To archive manually you can drag and drop your items from the Inbox to your archive folder.

When AutoArchive runs and it finds a folder that is configured for AutoArchive it will first create the folder and then scans the folder contents for messages that should be moved based on the AutoArchive settings and modified date of the message.

If I set this function to start archiving mail older than three months the process will start first after three months (and everything older that that will be archived)!?! ***Lennart > Indeed ;-) > [quoted text clipped - 116 lines] > >> >> >> >> >> > > >> >> >> >> >> > /LS No, the modified date will be changed when you edit the message or when you move it to another folder. It doesn't change when you modify the AutoArchive settings.
