Re: OL 2007 Auto Archiving Errors/Cannot read archive properties f

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

Outlook sets the modified date when the message is created. It does not use the Received field value for the modified date.

You can manually archive. Sort by received date then select the older ones and use Edit, move to folder... selecting the folder in the archive pst. It will be slow since you'll need to do it with all folders. This is easiest for a couple of folders where you want total control but its to only way to move files.

You can fake autoarchiving by using import/export and setting a filter, but it copies the messages, not move them - that means it doesn't delete them from the first pst and you'll have duplicates. If the pst is large, I would export newer items to a new pst then set the newer one as the default message store and move contacts to the new pst.

Fair enough. Assuming you are correct, then I would not expect anything to
start exporting for x months from now, then.

Are you certain that AddressMagicPersonaPlus does not preserve the modified
date? Also, should this not cause AutoArchive to just bypass the files? Why
does the list of folder change with each run? Is there another way to pare
back the messages from my main PST based on received date? How about a
utility o work through the tree and set the last modified date+ received date?

Any takers?

Archiving works on the modified date not the received date so if you
imported the messages, autoarchive isn't practical until all the imported
messages are ready to be archived.
