Autoarchive doesn't work on Inbox

I've set autoarchive on the Inbox in two ways:

1) using folder properties, and
2) applying autoarchive to all folders.

In both cases autoarchive will not move email msgs to the
archive Inbox folder. I know it wants to do something
since it created the Inbox folder in the Archive Folders
folder. But after running autoarchive using Mailbox
Cleanup no email msgs in the Inbox which are older than
the threshold date get moved. In fact, the Inbox under
Archive Folders stays empty.

I see old emails go into the Sent Items under Archive
Folders, but nothing in the Inbox. Very curious.

Anybody got any ideas about this one?

thx,

That's it!

Autoarchive on the modified date is just plain stupid (at
least for incoming mail msgs). Is there a way to change
this to received date?

Not that I know of - sorry. If you did an import of items, that might
explain this. You can always manually drag out the items you wish - open the
archive folder in your folder list, and move the items.
