Outlook uses the modified date to select items for archiving. I bet if you
display that folder and add the modified date to the columns, you will see
that the mail does not meet your time specific criteria.

Post all replies to the group to keep the discussion intact. Due to
the (insert latest virus name here) virus, all mail sent to my personal
account will be deleted without reading.

After searching google.groups.com and finding no answer, Patrick asked:

| When attempting to archive any folder, Outlook will
| bfiefly indicate that it is archiving, but the messages
| are not moved to the archive.pst file. However, the
| folder is created within the archive.pst, but the folder
| is empty. Why don't the messages within the folder get
| archived? I can manually move the messages to the archive
| file. The date to archive meets the criteria to move the
| messages. What am I missing?
