Archiving old e-mails

Dear Help,
I cannot archive old files using the calendar function.
I have tried setting the 'older than' to several different
dates but to no avail.
The strange thing is if I try and archive the whole
folder, I can do it-no problem, but as soon as I use
the 'older than' function, the little archive icon in the
bottom right hand shows, but then goes off, and the
archieve has done nothing.

Thanks for Help in Advance.

Yours Faithfully,
Mr Frustrated with Archiving
 
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 archived or 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:
