Archiving - Outlook 2003I'm currently experiencing problems trying either to set auto-archiving or just manually saying archive everything now. Is there somewhere you have to set something "special" in order to get the blinking thing to work? I've gone into the properties of all the folders I want to archive and set them to archive everything older than 1 month to the default archive folder, then tried to archive using the folder setting and everthing was still in the Inbox and Deleted Items. So I then tried different dates in the archive this folder and sub-folders option and checked the include items marked DoNotAutoArchive, and still everything remains in these two folders. Whats going on? All/Any help appreciated. Mark Mark Griffiths <mark.griffiths***@ntlworld.com> wrote:

Many actions can update that modified date, like opening an item, moving it to another folder, and so on. Try displaying the modified date using the Field Chooser. -- Brian Tillman Thanks Brian,
I was importing mail into a test account so I didn't screw up the original profile, so all the modified dates were set to yesterday - no wonder they were'nt going anyware!

Instead, just > original profile, so all the modified dates were set to yesterday - make a copy of the entire PST, use a test profile (you don't import mail into an account) and open the PST in the profile with File>Open>Outlook Data File. The dates will be preserved that way. -- Brian Tillman  |
