manual archive does not work properly

[Guest]

my manual archiving is not working. Any email which shows a modified date of
'none' is not archived but just left in the folder - how do I get around this?

By manually moving the mail to the Archive Folder (The archive pst will have
to be opened within OL)

my manual archiving is not working. Any email which shows a modified date of
'none' is not archived but just left in the folder - how do I get around

this?

Thanks - you are right - the only way seems to be to highlight, drag and drop
the items to the archive pst folder. I have noticed however that doing this
creates a modified date for the items once moved to the archive folder and
this is an old date - not today when i have moved them - strange!

If the Modified Date is "None", then Outlook should use the most recent of
the Received and Created dates.

Thanks Brian, but it doesn't - the email does not get archived - it just
stays where it was. The only way to archive seems to be to drag and drop the
items manually into the archive pst folder that has been created - thereafter
i have noticed that the 'none' modified date becomes a date equal or close to
the received date of the original email. I am trying to archive stuff which
is nearly two years old so I have little chance of understanding how this new
modified date is determined.
