Hi,
I have enabled the on-prem Exchange 2016 in-place Archive mailbox (Not 365/online) and can see this mailbox fine from my OWA account.
However I can't get this to show up in my Outlook client.
I'm running the latest version of Outlook 2019 Pro Plus
My exchange server has the Enterprise CAL.
I've tried Outlook 2016 Pro Plus from different workstation but run into the same issue where the archive mailbox does not appear
I have restarted Outlook,
and re-created my profile.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Al
Actually, on further testing it seems that no matter what you call the mailbox in Exchange Admin Center, the mailbox is displayed as "Online Archive - username" in Outlook.
Actually, its seems like Outlook will display the mailbox as "Online Archive - username", no matter what you name the mailbox as in EAC

Hello @Jordaan, Alwyn
Agree. This is the default name provided by Outlook for archive mailboxes. In Outlook, the in-place archive mailbox will be displayed as "Online Archive - username".
