I recently ran into a problem where I had a user with an Email account
on an Exchange 5.5 server that was moved off onto a stand alone
machine. Basically, the PST file was moved onto his local machine and
then imported in. It works no problem but, he ran into slowed
performance due to his large PST file. He decided to archive.
According to MS KB article # 197981, if you do what I just did, and in
some other cases, the actual date of the individual messages may
reflect the " modified date " ( the date you moved or imported the
file ), and not necessarily the recieved date. Outlook said it was
archiving, created the archive folder but no messages were moved into
it confirming the KB article.
THE FIX - create a new folder in Outlook and name it. Now go into
whatever selection that has a bunch of messages you wish to archive,
lets say the inbox. now highlight the group of messages you wish to
archive. Now right click and select "move to folder" and point to the
new folder you created.
Confirm that the messages you selected were moved. Now highlight this
new folder with your messages you wish to archive and select "file",
"archive" and choose the date option that says to archive from "today"
and older. Put what ever location you wish and other options and
archive.
You will see it now archive the items you could not before since it
will see that the " modified " date is older than the selection with "
todays date".
