Email Archiving

[LilDeb]

Hi There, I am in the process of trying to create some archiving rules and
running into difficulty. The Officers of my company do not want to have
Exchange manage/delete ANY of their mail, so in order to keep the Exchange
Database from getting out of hand, I have created archived folders in their
home directories. This is working great except for the archiving part.

The Archive folders are annual (2006 Archive, 2007 Archive, etc...). Now for
2008 I want to be able to MOVE items older then 30 days into the 2008
Archive. We are focusing specifically on the Inbox, Sent Items, and Deleted
Items mailboxes. These mailboxes should correlate with their respective
mailboxes in the 2008 Archive pst.

I have tried right clicking on the Inbox, properties, AutoArchive tab and
set what I want there. When I run the Archive process, it does
something(???). I then have the Archive Folders pst appear in my Outlook
(even though I have set it to archive to 2008Archive.pst), but I cannot find
where it thinks it moved the mail to. Looking back at the Inbox, it doesn’t
look like anything has changed in there either .

Anyone have any suggestions on how I can accomplish this? Thanks for the
help!!

Are you examining the Received dates to assess whether or not archiving has
done something? If so, you're using the wrong date. Archiving uses the
Modified date in order to determine if an item is eligible for archiving.
Add the Modified date to your view and see how that compares to your archive
criterion.
