Hotmail archiving problem

12. March 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags: ,
Hi, 
     I've been having problems with this Archive button as well.  I don't use archiving, but I keep hitting the button by accident since it's next to the reply button.  Since I don't have an archive folder set up, the mail that I accidentally "archived" keeps going to some secret place that I can't find.  As was mentioned below, there doesn't seem to be any settings or functions available to change the archiving.  As a result, I have emails sitting in some "secret" archive folder that I can't access.  Any suggestions on how to find my messages?  
Thanks!

Lost my smart folder to archive email to my computer

I had to rebuild my Outlook for Mac 2011 database to resolve problems with Outlook.  After doing this, I lost an archive folder that appeared at the bottom of the Smart Folder.  it allowed me to archive old emails to my computer.  I don't recall the exact name of the folder. but I presume it still resides somewhere on my hard drive.  I would like to get it back in Outlook so I can continue to archive old email and keep my Oultook account cleaned up.  Does anyone have any idea where it resides, what it is called and how to get it to show up again in the Smart Folders portion of my Outlook?

Thanks! 

moving email into archive folder

I just got a new Mac Brook Pro and have Outlook for Mac 2011. When I drag and drop an email into an archived folder, it makes a copy and leaves the original in my inbox. I then have to delete the email from my inbox and also from my deleted items folder. On my old computer when I would drag and drop an email into the archived folder, it would "move" it there instead of "copy" it there. Is there a setting or preference to make it "move" instead of "copy" when I drag and drop without using keyboard shortcuts?

Outlook 2011 Archive

Hi,

 

Any ideas on the following appreciated

 

I have followed this link http://support.sherweb.com/Faqs/Show/how-to-export-a-backup-file-from-outlook-2011-for-mac-exchange-2010

to export all live email to an archive file with the option of not deleting any information. I then import the file back into outlook.

 

Therefore I have a Live Exchange Mailbox and also an Archive folder. The ideal is that I empty the archive out and then the uses can create new folders under here and move live emails as and when. My issues is when I import the file back in and delete everything from the folder and deleted items the file is still staying at 9 GB

Any ideas on hiow I can reduce this size

Thanks,
