Outlook 2007 Auto Archive - Cannot read archive properties from fo

D

New Outlook user, please go easy on me. As of 01/01/2008 I have converted
from Eudora v7.x to Outlook 2007. Running Vista Home Premium, dual core
2.2ghz, 4gb RAM, all patches current per multiple runs of MS Update.

I used AddressMagic to import all of my email messages from Eudora into a
new OL2007 PST file. Conversion worked great, and I can see and use all of
my emails and attachments.

FUNCTION:

Auto Archiving



ERROR:

* Pop-up error message declares: "Errors occurred while archiving. Look for
a detailed report in your Deleted Items folder."

* Delete Items folder shows messages of the format:
Error while archiving folder "ABC" in store "Personal Folders - AJK".
Cannot read archive properties from folder ABC. Cannot create archiving
properties. An unexpected error has occurred.

* Message above repeats in block format in the Deleted Items entry, naming
different folders in each iteration of the message.




BACKGROUND AND PROCESS:

* The PST file is 3+ gigs, and I have it on an 8gb Express memory card to
avoid physical RPS, latency, and other delays related to HDD. This decision
was based on the size of the PST file.

* I have an archive PST set up on HDD, and it shows under "Data Files" in OL.

* Default Auto-Archive parameters are set to archive anything older than x
months (plenty of messages to fit that description).

* Right clicked on top level of mail folder tree, set auto-archive to use
default auto archive, and I manually confirmed that sub-folders have this
property as well.

* Select Tools | Mailbox Cleanup | Auto Archive

* Runs for a while, status at bottom of window shows archiving zzz folder
and changes as it presumably goes about its business.

* Archive PST does contain a duplicate of the main mailbox PST, but no
messages can be found in any of the folders.

* I went back through the main PST, and found many messages dated far beyond
the x months I stipulated for archival.

* Main PST file size does not appear to have decreased.

* Archive PST file size does not appear to have increased.


RESOLUTION SOUGHT:

* Understanding of error.

* Understanding of correction of error

* Archival of main PST messages to reduce file size and increase performance
of Outlook while maintaining online-near-line access to historical messages.


Any ideas?

is every folder created by address magic affected or just some?

The first run it was a lot of folders, but I do not believe it was every one.
The most recent run only had a handful.
