I work for a large company that uses Active Directory and an email server
with Server 2000. I set up a SPAM folder in my Inbox with Rules Wizard. I
set the archive settings of that folder to delete the contents in 3 days. I
checked the Global Settings and it was set up to archive in 1 day. The SPAM
folder is not archiving correctly. Anyone have any ideas what might be
wrong.
 
Define "not archiving correctly," please. In other words, what are your
symptoms?
 
Be specific. Is it not deleting anything or not deleting as much as you
think it should? If the latter, check the Modified date on the items.

Sue,

Yes, I should have been more specific. I apologize. My SPAM folder which
is set up to "clean out items older than 1 day" and set to "delete" was not
deleting anything. I believe the problem was that I didn't have the Global
AutoArchive set up to anything. I had absolutely nothing selected. However
I won't know for awhile. I'll let you know. . .
