Outlook 2003: autoarchving subfolders?

G

Guest

I'm trying to use the archive feature of outlook; however, in my personal pst
file, I have several levels of folders and subfolders; I cannot seem to get
the subfolders to archive, unless I manually turn on archiving on each one
individually.

This just seems silly; isn't there a way to turn on archiving at a root
level, and affect it and all folders beneath?

I am having a simmilar issue except that I have allready applied the setting
to all folders. It says that it is archiving but nothing gets archived. It
creates all of the folders and subfolders just not move anything into them.
So I then turned on the Use Cached Exchange Mode to move the mail local then
archive. Still no archive. Started on a machine that was upgraded from office
xp to 2003. So I uninstalled office and reinstalled 2003 clean and still
archive did not work. So i then grab a spare machine and set the user up on
that machine and tryed to archive and the same problem.

I am running exchange 2003 server with office 2003

Jason (& all), I have this same issue. I saw a tech note on the Kbase about
the mailbox exceeding it's size limits so I moved some of the emails manually
to the archive folders to decrease the size.

After another 'archive' process none of my emails have been moved or copied.
The process appears to be working without error (according to the activity
info at the bottom right). Just no results. Our LAN Admin wants me to just
move files manually and work from the archive folders. This is not an
acceptable option when the software is not performing per specs.

Any solutions?
