I am encountering a similar problem. The IMAP items wont autoarchive even
though the modified date is older than 7 days (my autoarchive setting). This
is true for manually archiving, as well as for the once-a-day auto archiving.
You say that you found out it doesn't work directly on IMAP folders. What
does that mean? Did you find a work-around? Thanks.

Thanks, that was the reason. I added a column to display the modified
time and it was the same day cos he'd just imported the messages.

Plus I found out that archiving doesn't work directly on IMAP
mailboxes...

Archiving works on the modified date of an item, not the sent date, received
date, etc. Check the modified dates of the items that are not archiving
properly and see if that's the reason.

Hello,

We have one user using Outlook 2007 who's connected to our corporate
mailserver via IMAP. Globally, he's configured the autoarchive to run
every day and run on messages older than Jan 15 in the Inbox and Sent
Items. He has plenty of such messages. He's using the "default archive
settings" at individual folder level.

When he clicks on File - Archive to run it manually, it briefly says
"archiving" in the corner, then stops. No messages at all appear in
the Archive Folders. Running it automatically produces the same
result.

I changed the IMAP settings to download everything (was originally
headers only) but still no joy.

Any ideas please? The user is a VIP so help is much appreciated.

Thanks,
