Re: Turning off autoarchive once and for all

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

I just slogged my way back the long way because the notification message link
sent me nowhere. I appreciate the response, but I have no clue what you're
talking about. What switches? Where are they? And a new mail profile? I can't
control the one I already have! I found the reset view and holefully reset
the Send folder, but I'm not sure what it was reset to, since nothing
appeared to change. I'm not sure what qualifies as an add-in, so I suspect I
am not running anything extra in Outlook.

I have read through the threads, looked at the instruction manual, tapped
into every possible (I think) angle related to turning off the autoarchive
feature in Office 2003 XP and I still lose everything in the Sent folder
if I
leave it overnight. I have to manually move a Sent e-mail if I want to
keep
it. I have gone into the Tools/Options and clicked, unclicked, reclicked,
clicked this and not that and still come up with NOTHING but an empty Sent
folder! And I have a 193MG Outlook.pst file that I cannot open, view or
sort.
Nor is there anything in my auto-created Archive folders. I think I am
capable of deleting the e-mails I don't want to save. I am just not
capable
of making this program believe that.
What more can I do other than go to a completely different OS when this
thing becomes a real paperweight?

And you've reset all your views to defaults (the /cleanviews command switch)
and aren't running any add-ins (the /safe command switch)? Have you tried a
new mail profile?
