Hi all

I'm imported all my mail store from Outlook Express so I could use the
archive facility in Outlook.

I've tried archiving everything older than 01/01/2003, Outlook scans through
but doesn't move anything from any folder. The Personal Folders are selected
and a tick is in the include subfolder box.

Is outlook reading the a time stamp maybe, instead of the actual date
received? Is there a way to resolve this?

Many thanks in advance
 
When you import mail, the modified date is reset to the import date. Archive
works on modified date.
To move mail from OE to OL without modifying this date export from OE to OL,
not import.
 
You've checked modified date is now correct, ie not showing todays date?
You didnt mention OL version
Have you checked settings, for autoarchive, in individual Folders, and those
from File/Archive?
