You may have discovered that Microsoft Outlook selects messages for archiving in an unusual way. Outlook determines the message age from the Sent date/time, the Received date/time, or from the message's "Last Modified" date/time, whichever is later. The following actions will change a message's "Last Modified" date/time:
- Forwarding
- Replying
- Replying to All
- Editing and Saving
- Moving or Copying (depending on the destination)
- Select items by date received, date sent or date last modified.
- Move / Copy / Delete matching items to the destination.
- Preserves all message time stamps in destination.
- Select source and destination for moving mail out of or back into your main PST file.
- Choose to ignore or respect the "No Archive" flag.
- Preview mode allows you to see totals before performing an archive.
- Set the archive task priority to Normal, Medium or High.
- Export messages to a disk folder in MSG format. Your folder structure is replicated.
- Choose to arhive Unopened messages.
