Outlook 2003 and archiving

[Doug]

I have Windows XP Pro and Outlook 2003. I have never
archived my Outlook e-mail; I use it for personal e-mail
and don't have much. But, when prompted to archive the
other day, I finally said "yes" to auto-archive.
However, my "Archive Folders" folder that was created
when this autoarchive ran does not contain any of my old
e-mails! It only contains subfolders named Deleted
Items, Sent Items, and Search Folders -- no "Inbox" or
any of the other folders I should have and no e-mail
within them. What's going on?

What folders do you have set for archiving?

the (insert latest virus name here) virus, all mail sent to my personal
account will be deleted without reading.
