Auto-archive problem

In Outlook 2003, I have set all folders to be archived with the same
settings except for one that is never to be archived. The problem is that
some of the folders that should be archived, aren't. I've checked the
setting on these folders and they are set to the same archive settings as
the others.

Any ideas?
 
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:

Nope. On the ones in question, the Modified and Received fields have the
same value.

I just ran auto-archive again (no change in settings) and the problem
appears to have disappeared.I guess I'll never know the cause of the
problem.
