Auto archive

[Guest]

Hi all,
I have set-up an archive profile on my Inbox to automatically archive email
older than 7 days to another newly created PST file entitled 'Don's InMail
1H2005'. However I notice there are still items sitting in my inbox dated
14th Feb 2005?? Is there something else I should do to activate auto-archive?
On a seperate note I also notice if I goto GO -> FOLDER LIST, nothing happens?
Would appreciate help!
Thx,

Don-

Is that Feb 14th date the received date? If so, you're looking at the wrong
date. Autoarchive doesn't use the received date, it uses the (usually
hidden) modified date. If you've opened, moved, or otherwise manipulated a
message, no matter what it's received date, the modified date will be
updated and Archive won't touch it. It only handles items that haven't been
touched in any way since the archive date you've chosen.
