[Migrated from MSDN Exchange Dev] Manual Email Archive Not working

Question

I have tried to archive my emails old items by going through the clean up old items.<o:p></o:p>

But it wont seem archive any folders other than my drafts folder<o:p></o:p>

I wondered if this was something to do with my older emails sitting on the server until i click "click here to view more on Microsoft Exchange"

Can anyone help me how to archive these emails if that is the case

Answer 1

Could you tell us how do you configure "clean up old items"? Clean up with AutoArchive or Clean up manually?

If you are using AutoArchive, please have a check whether the "Do not archive items in this folder" is unchecked:

If you try to clean up manually, you also need to check the settings below:

Yes, the Outlook archive function only handle with emails which downloaded to local computer. It will not handle old emails which doesn't downloaded to local computer. For those old email, you could use server side archive function: In-Place Archiving in Exchange Server
