OL98: Outlook Items Are Not Archived As Expected (260212)

MORE INFORMATION

Outlook does not archive as expected because the date that is used to determine when an item is archived depends on the type of item.

Item type	Archive date
E-mail message	The sent or received date, whichever is later; or the last modification date and time.
Appointment	The appointment date or the last modification date and time, whichever is later.
Task	The completion date or the last modification date and time. Tasks that are not marked complete are not AutoArchived. Tasks assigned to others are archived only if they are marked complete.
Note	The last modification date and time.
Journal entry	The date the journal entry was created or the last modification date and time.
Contact	Not archived.

Each item has a Modified field associated with it. It is not possible to view the Modified field in some of the standard views, for example the Day/Week/Month calendar view.

To view the modified field of any item:

1. On the View menu, point to Current View, and then click By Category.
2. On the View menu, point to Current View, and then click Customize Current View.
3. Click Fields, and then click All Mail fields in the Select available fields from box.
4. Under Available Fields, click Modified, and then click Add to place the Modified field in the Show these fields in this order box.
5. Click Move Up or Move Down to position the Modified field, click OK, and then click OK.

The modified date and time for each item appears in the By Category view.
