Auto archive on Outlook leaves the original mail in my mailbox after running. I want it to MOVE ['move' as it actually says in the archive menu] to the .pst archive folder. There is a box to tick 'permanently delete old items' but this scares me and I think it relates to calendar appointments only anyway. Outlook help is no help!

How do I get it to >clean out all mail older than 3 months< [as per my setting] and really actually >move to xxxx.pst< again as per my setting WITHOUT leaving them all on my mailbox too [which makes it all rather pointless!]?

Cheers

have you set up the archiving for the whole mailbox in tools - options ?

you then have to right click - properties, of the folders you want archived ie 'inbox' and configure the archive tab!

it doesnt just do calendar entries.

That's the rub mate - I seem to have set it up properly, but when i run it it leaves all the stuff where it was when updating the archive folders...
