Archived emails

Hi, I let my ms office xp outlook archieve my email folders about once every
two weeks, but I have notices that if I tried to search for an old email in
the archive folders it shows that the folders are empty! I have the archive
folders sit in the folder view window, can somebody tell me what I am doing
wrong? Where are my emails going when I archive them?

Thanks,
Gordy

Have you verified that your e-mails are indeed archived? Also check your
archive settings and verify that the folder you are looking at is indeed the
folder that is being archived to. If it is another folder you can open that
folde by File-> Open-> Outlook Data File... to see what is inside.

Hi, this post has been up for a bit, has nobody experienced this problem?
Or should I state it differently? Help please,
