Archive not archiving

[doug hayes]

Help please. I am trying to archive email folders.
Archive runs, creates an archive folder (and .pst file)
but does nothing else. i.e no data is moved to the
Archive folders. This is not a case of selected date - a
lot of this info is 2 years old. No matter what date I
select nothing is moved. Same if i try to archive
calendar or other folders. I see others have had this
problem - is there a solution or is this an outlook
problem. Any help appreciated. Thanks
D

If you are working with an Exchange Server you may want to
look at MKBA 297226 and 143376.

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, 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:
