Configure Auto Archive In Outlook 2007

Auto Archive is turned on by default in Outlook 2007 and will actually remove some of the oldest files (you determine the amount of time) completely.  If you have old e-mails which are really important then...I m here to help you to save those mails. Auto Archive is a feature in outlook which will automatically delete your e-mails after a specified period of time. To prevent that go to -

Open Outlook and click on Tools \ Options.

Now click on the other tab and click the AutoArchive button.

This opens up a whole menu of options and settings to pick from and from there you can make changes and save them accordingly: for instance you can choose how often AutoArchive runs.

Here you can decide for how long you want to keep your e-mails and after how many days you want to run auto archive ….like you can select 15 days or 20 days…or as much as you want… totally your call. I also place a check next to "Prompt before Auto Archive runs" just in case there is something I do not want delete. Isn’t it a great feature!!!

This is also where you decide when to clean out old items and the location to move them to.  Of course you can always select to permanently delete old items if you do not want to keep them around any longer.  Click OK and your settings are saved!
