Hello.

I have person whos mailbox I can not archive. OS XP pro Outlook 2003. I have attempted to do this on 3 workstations.

Attempting: to Archive items older then 2 months.

Setup everything properly for a fact, because I have done this a millions times, applied to all folders.

Issue: Archive runs through real fast and only creates the folders without archiving the items older then 10/14/2005.

Very odd. Could this be an Excahnge issue or permission?

Thank you for any ideas.

Also is there a clean archive switch or anything?
 
This also happens to me, what I have found is make sure tha the user is the owner of all of the folders that you are applying all the settings to. Outlook is funny like that in the case where it creates the folders and doesn't move the files. I have had to physically move all outdated files because I got so frustrated with it...Gates annoyance...
 
Found out if you open the email and go to file properites the modified date is different then the sent to date. this is the problem.
