Trouble archiving in Outlook 2003

[Guest]

I am having trouble manually archiving in Outlook 2003. On some machines it will archive successfully, and on some other machines absolutely no mail will get archived. Does anybody know why? I thought it had to do with cached mode (since I was having some problems with that), but even with cached mode off the e-mails won't archive.

When you say "manually archiving", what procedure are you using, exactly?

OK, just wanted to make sure you and I were on the same page. In this case,
manual archiving will work much like AutoArchiving will, except that you're
manually starting the process.

Check the Modified date on the items that aren't being archived as you think
they should. That's the date Outlook uses to determine whether or not an
item is ready to be AutoArchived (or archived manually from the File menu),
and a simple action such as moving the item to another folder can change the
Modified date. More information and a list of actions that change the
Modified date can be found here:
