SUMMARY
When you use the Archive or AutoArchive features in Microsoft Outlook, items do not archive as expected.



MORE INFORMATION
Outlook does not archive as expected because the date that is used to determine when an item is archived depends on the type of item.

Each item has a Modified field associated with it. It is not possible to view the Modified field in some of the standard views, for example the Day/Week/Month calendar view.

To view the Modified field of any item in Microsoft Outlook 2000 and in Microsoft Outlook 2002:

 * 4) Under Available Fields, click Modified, and then click Add to place the Modified field in the Show these fields in this order box.
 * 5) Click Move Up or Move Down to position the Modified field, click OK, and then click OK.

The modified date and time for each item appears in the By Category view.
