Re: Turning off autoarchive once and for all

OK, I did this and nothing really seemed to happen. There's nothing there
that refers to autoarchive, which is my problem. None of the views changed.
The only view that had a reset button to click was Message timeline,
something which is of no use to me at the moment - but interesting. And the
messages are still being eaten out of my Sent to box. I got nuthin'.

See http://www.outlook-tips.net/beginner/resetview.htm for instructions on
resetting the view and using switches. Since autoarchive is turned off, its
highly unlikely that the missing items are being archived. It's possible you
have a view configured that is hiding the items and opening outlook using
the /cleanviews switch will reset all the views.

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?
