    Hi @Salah Mohamed Ahmed Mohamed Owais ,

    Welcome to our forum!

    What's the type of your account? (POP/IMAP/Exchange)

    If you have an Exchange account, please check if the offline setting is not set all emails. If so, please slide the button to cache the longest time. (File>Account Settings>Account Settings...>double click your account). Then restart Outlook to wait all emails is loaded in Outlook and try to archive again to check if there're any differences.
