MS Office Forum / Outlook / New Users / January 2007Outlook 2003 Archive Question... Any Ideas would be appreciated.
I am using Outlook 2003 on XP Pro w/all the latest service paks. When I try to archive manually or automatically to my archive.pst file (specifying to archive any items over 6 months old) none of the items older than 6 months are removed from my main .pst file AND the archive.pst file is contains no archived items other than the folder structure from the original file. I have tried various archive points 3 months, 12 months, 2 years but I don't get any results. Any ideas out there? Thanks! > I am using Outlook 2003 on XP Pro w/all the latest service paks. > [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > I have tried various archive points 3 months, 12 months, 2 years but I > don't get any results. Archiving works based on an item's Modified date, not its Received date. Use the Field CHooser to add the Modified date you your view and compare the dates with your archive criteria.

Thanks Brian, I don't know if you helped kaylix, but you've cleared up something that's baffled me for ages! -Peter >> I am using Outlook 2003 on XP Pro w/all the latest service paks. >> [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > date.

I'll give it a try, but I'm sure something else is going on as I have items from 2003/2004 that haven't been touched and they still don't get archived. What are some of the esoteric options that could be performed on a mail file that would mark emails as 'modified' and therefore would not archive as part of an archiving process? > OK, thanks.

Recently this users mail file was corrupted because it was in Outlook 2000 format with the 2gb limit. The process of recovering the file must have set a new modification date on each item to 1/7/07. Therefore nothing was being archived. It makes total sense now. Thanks again for your help! |
