outlook not archiving

G

Guest

Hello,

For the last 2 weeks, Outlook is not archiving my files. I select the date,
outlook starts archiving (at least pretending) but no files are moved into
the archive. I have to move them manually. I am very familiar with the
Archive function but I must be missing something.

What's happening?

What is your Outlook configuration?

If you are using pst-files use scanpst.exe to scan it for errors.

Did you touch them in the last 2 weeks? Archiving works on the
modified date, not the create date. If you move items between
folders, that counts as modification.

Where do I find this program. It seems it is not on my computer.

I did check and it remains the same. All my settings appears to be fine.

Depends on your version of Outlook.

You can use OutlookTools (free) to detect it for you as well. It holds a
link to it on the first tab
