ARCHIVE TWILIGHT ZONE

I have 6 pc's that all have Outlook 2002(SP2) on them. 2
Are Win2K and 4 are XP os. On the XP pc's the archive
function of Outlook doesn't work properly. There is no
error message given at the end of the archive process and
it appears all is well until you realize there are still
emails that are more than 3 months old in the folder you
just archived(archive settings on all of the pc's is 3
months).

The pc's are in a Lan configuration with a Win2k sever
running Exchange amongst other things but I don't think
that's the problem. I think it must be something XP
related. I can't find anything in MS Knowledgebase.

Has anyone seen this before? Any help would be much
appreciated.

Thanks,
Lisa
 
Check the Modified date on the items that aren't being archived as you think
they should. That's the date Outlook uses to determine whether or not an
item is ready to be AutoArchived, and a simple action such as moving the
item to another folder can change the Modified date. More information and a
list of actions that change the Modified date can be found here:
