Hi,

Thanks for the reply.

Yes - the view is set by Date. And, this issue now appears to be lmited to
the Sent Items Folder on this machine.....

Very odd - as on my other boxes, I can see sent items back to 2002.

I checked the Sent Items folder properties and autoarchive was enabled -
even though I had it turned off globally! I turned it off and then I
deleted the ost file and let it rebuild after changing this setting - but
still no joy.

Very frustrating.

Hello all,

I run Outlook 2003 with SBS 2003 and use SBS's Exchange for email.

On a new client PC with Office 2003, when setting up the mailbox for the
first time, Outlook only brings in the most recent emails. For example,
on my laptop version of Outlook (Windows XP) , I can see Sent Items from
as far back as 2002. On this new install however, I only see Sent Items
back as far as early November of this year.

I do not have autoarchiving enable - and the SBS box has an unlimited
mailbox limit for my account.

The new client machine is Vista RTM and Offline files are set to maximum
allowed. I find it hard to understand that this is OS related given I have
set the quotas so high on the client - maybe some update to Exchange??

What could be causing this?

Thanks in advance!

Stu
