Bug: Auto-archive does not work in Outlook 2010

The Auto-Archive feature does not seem to work. In my case, I'm creating a mail folder in my inbox and setting the auto archival to "2 weeks, then delete". I run Auto Archival manually. It seems to progress without any error, but I know better.
It should take the process more than a few minutes to process the mail I have stored up for almost a year. No error and my mail has been untouched.
I noticed this thread in the Outlook 2010 beta forums
I'm having the same issue. I'd like this bug fixed if possible? I keep archival folders to manage my mail.

Hi Canovac,
Auto Archive works as expected in my environment.   I noticed you said that you created a new mail folder in your inbox.  Did you just create the folder and move the mail to that folder?  Auto archive looks at modified date and if you
move the mail to that folder that changed the modified date so the mail will not archive.
To determine the modified date, do the following:
While on the folder in question:
Click View > View Settings > Columns
In the Select available columns from dropdown choose
All Mail Fields locate Modifed in the Available colums: and click
Add
If the mail has not been modified within the last two week span, please test the following for me.
Start Outlook with the /safe switch and then run Auto-Archive. 
Does auto-archive work when starting with the /safe switch?

  • Auto brightness does not work after upgrade from iOS5 to iOS6 on my iPod touch. Is this intended by Apple, or is it a bug?

    I attempted to ask this question, yesterday. However, I am not used to typing with my thumbs, yet, and messed it up some. So, I will give this another try. Auto brightness does not work after upgrade from iOS 5 to iOS 6 on my iPod touch. Is this intended by Apple, or is it a bug?

    Have you looked at the previous discussions listed on the right side of this page under the heading "More Like This"?
    iOS 6 changed how that feature works.

  • My auto-lock does not work properly in this new iOS 6

    My auto-lock does not work properly in this new iOS 6

    Do you have your Assistive Touch on? Per another user in another forum:
    Source: http://forums.imore.com/ios-6-forum/240631-auto-lock-not-working-ios-6-a.html. Username: Chambaka
    Okay, I did a 'reset all settings' in settings and problems fixed. Hope this can be useful for others.
    Edit: it appears that when the assistive touch is on the autolock function won't work while in the home screen, but will work if opening a app. I hope Apple fixes this bug in the next update.
    I tried what he said and my auto-lock's working again - so, I turned off my Assistive Touch. Hope Apple fixes this bug soon,

  • My auto archive is not working

    Hi all
    Running Exchange 2013 CU2 with Outlook 2013 clients. It seems based on the event viewer that my managed folder assistant is not archiving emails based on the retention policy set. I know it works for a very few, such as myself, but majority it does
    not and no matter if I start it manually or anything it does not work for most users. I need to try and fix this cause most users inboxes are reaching capacity and they have to manually move emails.
    I have three exchange 2013 servers. Two built in DAG for HA and one setup as email archive server.
    Steve

    Hi,
    Based on the description, when the retention age expires, you want to move messages to the archive mailbox. However, this retention policy didn't work for some users.
    First, I recommend you check it these affected users have enabled archive mailbox. If the mailbox user doesn't have an archive mailbox, no action is taken. And please make sure these mailbox are not put on retention hold.
    Besides that, please run the start-managedfolderassistant cmdlet for one of these affected users again to check the result. After you run this command, please check the application log and make sure the Managed Folder Assistant process this mailbox successfully.
    If the steps from above don't show any changes, would it be possible to create a new retention policy and assign it to a test mailbox to check the result?
    Best regards,
    Belinda

  • Envy x2 auto-rotate does not work, after upgrading to windows 10. And touchpad gestures

    I have installed the latest HP Support Assistant for windows 10  and I have installed the updates  Intel Virtual Button DriverHP System Event Utility Updates failed to install without giving reason: Intel Serial I/O driver Intel Management Engine Interface (MEI) Driver In display settings  I have checked the box of "Allow the screen to auto-rotate"  In Windows Update I have updated with Update for Microsoft Windows (KB3074678)Update for Microsoft Windows (KB3074676)Update for Microsoft Windows (KB3081424)  In Device Manager under Sensors HID Sensor Collection V2, working properlySdo Sensor V2, working properly I have done deleting these devices and reinstalling them  In User Account I have created a new user with password. Auto-rotate did not work in that user    But all these have not worked. Please find a solution for me.   About the TouchPad gesture: swipping inside from the left use to switch app, now does not work.swipping inside from the right use to bring out charm bar/ action centre, now does not work  

    Yes. I found the answer here:http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook-Display-and-Video/HP-Envy-x2-13-j020CA-Windows-10-Auto-Rotate-Autorotate-now/m-p/5212887#M115445I've tried replacing the driver on Sdo Sensor V2 device with the Simple Device Orientation Sensor and rotation works just like it did on 8.1.For the record - Sdo Sensor v2 reports the device orientation continiously, and Simple Device Orientation Sensor reports it only when the orientation changes. Must be a Windows bug then.

  • Import mail function does not work for Outlook Express

    working on a windows 8.1 laptop, trying to import emails from a Outlook Express directory that was moved to the new PC. Latest Thunderbird is running and the import starts and then very quickly finishes without importing anything.

    Thunderbird import does not work on my XP machine either, I already tried it. Do you mean that outlook Express has to be running at the time of import?
    I did migrate the mail folder into Windows live email, so I have access to the email but only as a kludgy 2 email solution.
    Thunderbird does not recognize Live Mail, so that was not helpful.
    I think the import broke in some previous release and has not been tested lately.

  • Auto Fill does not work

    I have a new iMac with Lion OSX. In Safari, I checked the box for auto fill to populate my demographic info in websites from Address Book. It does not work. Any suggestions?

    I am still using Snow Leopard on my iMac. I've done all that with the address book and Safari autofill preferences. I've had it that way for years, but in recent times, it seems to be completely useless, as every time I try to autofill a web form, all I get is this error dialog:
    "AutoFill completes webpage forms using information from your Address Book card or from web forms you completed previously. The information required by this form does not match any of the information available to AutoFill"
    Luckily, I use 1Password3 and don't have to rely on the random usability of the Safari autofill feature, but it would be good to know just what happened to make it so useless.

  • Auto rotate does not work

    The auto rotate function does not work on my iPad.  I have tried the the mute / rotate switch, swiping to the far left at the bottom of the home page and rebooting.  Nothing is working.  Are there any other steps I could try or should I be taking the iPad in for service?

    Does your iPad show the lock in a circular arrow symbol in the top of the screen next to the battery level?
    First thing to try is a reboot of your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.
