Default problems creating a archive file to archive old emails

Hello everybody

I have enable the option to archive old emails to clean up the inbox

the "big deal" is that before it I change the file name from archive6.pst
(default) to outlook_archive.pst and I run partially the process.

And now when I run the archive option start creating me a archive6 file
(when half of the archiving is already done in the other file)

I notice that they are two places where to maintain the archive file name
(?) ::
File - Archive - Archive file
Tools - options - other - AutoArchive - Defaulst folder settings for
archiving - Move old items to:

in both places I have change the path to my correct path

but still, when I execute :: Tools - mailbox cleanup - Autoarchive it
start creating the archive6.pst


what else should I change to outlook detect the right file ??

Notes ::
with outlook close there is no locks for this file
outlook have acess to it, in fact, it is open as an email file


thanks in advance

If the archive6.pst file is referenced by any folder's archive settings, Outlook will create it if it doesn't already exist. Look on the folders' Properties dialog.
