JEP - Deleting Archived Files
In my archived folders list I have my folders set to delete messages over 5
days old. It doesn't appear to be doing it and when I run a manual archive I get this "Error while archiving folder "Archived folders" in store "Archived Folders". The source and destination folder for this operation cannot be the same." The way I have the archived folder set up to handle the operation is Permanently Delete all files over 5 days old, not send it to another archived folder. Do files have to be manually deleted from archived folders? Thanks greatly in advance! -- Jack da Shack

JEP - Deleting Archived Files
AutoArchive doesn't work for additional pst-files but only on the main
primary store. A manual archive should work but you should set a different pst-file as the archive location even when you have all folders set to permanently delete; the archive function doesn't know to to delete them until you are actually running the archive function. -- Robert Sparnaaij [MVP-Outlook] Coauthor, Configuring Microsoft Outlook 2003 http://www.howto-outlook.com/ Outlook FAQ, HowTo, Downloads, Add-Ins and more http://www.msoutlook.info/ Real World Questions, Real World Answers ----- "jack" wrote in message ...

JEP - Deleting Archived Files
I think I understand. When Archiving the Archived Folders list, I directed
the deleted/archived files to a new file on the desktop I named DeleteNow.pst. It did archive then and clear out the regular Archive Folders according to the settings (5 days old) I have set. Then, I can terminate Outlook and delete the DeleteNow.pst off the desktop. I hope this was close to what you were saying! And thanks much! -- Jack da Shack "Roady [MVP]" wrote: AutoArchive doesn't work for additional pst-files but only on the main primary store.
