Outlook 2010 autoarchive does not delete items from server

I have read similar Qs & As, but I don't think they apply to my circumstances.
I use Outlook 2010 with Windows 7 32 bit for a GMAIL IMAP account.
My email pst file is 7GB in size and I think this is affecting performance. I'd like to auto-archive all emails more than 15 months old to a separate pst file, and to do this every 14 days. I've set up
1) file/clean-up/archive all folders according to their auto-archive settings/OK
2) Options/advanced/auto-archive
run every 14 days
delete expired items
archive or delete old items
move old items to c:\... my archive folder.
The auto-archive fires up automatically at the right time (I've been testing using a 1 day interval), but despite all this, it still doesn't delete emails from the IMAP (Gmail) folders, and I have emails going back to 2010.
How do I get this to work please? I don't want my IMAP folder to increase in size for ever - is there a practical limit?

What are your gmail settings? Gmail will archive messages that Outlook deletes from the server unless you change the setting and tell gmail to delete them. (It's under Forwarding and POP on the settings page at gmail.com.)
You can configure gmail to only provide the most recent 1,000, 2000, 5,000 or 10,000 messages - leaving the older messages archived in the gmail mailbox. 
Do you have the Gmail \ All Mail folder subscribed? That duplicates all of your mail - unsubscribe it to reduce the file size.

  • Deleting emails from Gmail does not delete them from BB

    HI,
    Just bought a brand new BB 8830 World Edition and using Gmail. Deleting emails from the BB works just fine and Gmail is being updated. But deleting emails from Gmail does not delete the corresponding email from the BB.
    On the BB, there is an option "Mailbox and Handheld" that works just fine but there is no such thing on the Gmail options.
    Is this a bug or a normal way of doing things? It would be quite abnormal to having to manually delete your emails on the BB that have already been deleted on Gmail; it's just deleting twice the same email.
    I would be grateful to anyone who can provide an answer.
    Regards.
    Springtime.

    You can delete mails from your handheld as well as from Gmail server which I guess solve the issue for you. To be able to do so check the following options -
    Messages
    Options
    Email Reconciliation
    Deelete On: Mailbox & handheld
    In place of Mailbox & handheld you also select Deelete On: Prompt. This is will give prompt wheneve you'll delete any mail and give you options what to do.

  • Outlook 2010 Certificate does not match

    I have a problem with a new installation of Exchange 2013 on a Windows 2012 Server.  Most of the clients are Outlook 2010.
    All the internal users are getting the error message:
    "There is a problem with the proxy server's certificate. The name on the security certificate is invalid or does not match the name of the target site exchange2013.myinternaldomain.local
    This is shortly followed by another box "the name on the security certificate is invalid or does not match the name of the site"
    Of course the issue is my purchased SSL certificate is MAIL.REALDOMAIN.ORG  while the server's name is exchange2013.myinternaldomain.local
    With Exchange 2010 servers I have deployed I have had success following KB article 940726 but this time it didn't fix it with Exchange 2013.
    There must be a solution!
    I found this article:
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2783881   the first suggestion from MS were impractical and the registry edit didn't work either (plus the thought of going to all my clients to do a registry
    fix doesn't make me happy!)
    I tried creating a local DNS zone for my external domain name and pointing to the internal IP but that didn't fix it.
    In the ECP under the Outlook Anywhere section --  "*Specify the internal host name such as contoso.com that users will use to connect
    to your organization:"  I changed the internal host name to the external .org address but this caused Outlook clients internally not to work.
    I used the -AutodiscoverServiceInternalUrl command to point it to the .org address on the certificate but didn't work either.
    I have a service record in both external and internal DNS pointing to the mail.realdomain.org address.
    Any other suggestions?
    Thanks in advance!
    Mike

    Thanks for the information. I actually finally got this resolved a few weeks ago by speaking directly with a Microsoft technician. I am going to post what finally fixed my problem with the hopes that it will help others in my position.
    Again, the problem which I am sure is common is a .local domain internally and a "real" domain on the outside.  The solution that the MS tech had me do was to simply point EVERYTHING both internally and externally to the external host name - the one that
    matched the certificate I had.
    I'm surprised this solution isn't found elsewhere - it seems so obvious. 
    He had me run an number of commandlets which I will post here - with the caveat that they were for my environment! (I've masked my real domain name and substituted - mydomainame.org)
    Set-Webservicesvirtualdirectory -Identity "EXCHANGE2013\ews (Default Web Site)" -InternalURl
    https://mail.mydomainname.org/ews/exchange.asmx
    Set-OutlookProvider EXCH -CertPrincipalName msstd:mail.mydomainname.org
    Set-OutlookProvider EXPR -CertPrincipalName msstd:mail.mydomainname.org
    Set-OutlookAnywhere -Identity "EXCHANGE2013\Rpc (Default Web Site)" -InternalHostName "mail.mydomainname.org" -InternalClientsRequireSsl $True -InternalClientAuthenticationMethod NTLM
    Set-Webservicesvirtualdirectory -Identity "EXCHANGE2013\ews (Default Web Site)" -InternalURl
    https://mail.mydomainname.org/ews/exchange.asmx
    Set-OutlookAnywhere -Identity "EXCHANGE2013\Rpc (Default Web Site)" -ExternalHostName "mail.mydomainname.org" -ExternalClientsRequireSsl $True -InternalClientAuthenticationMethod NTLM  --ExternalClientAuthenticationMethod NTLM -IISAuthenticationMethods 
    Basic, NTLM, Negotiate
    Set-OutlookProvider EXCH -CertPrincipalName msstd:mail.mydomainname.org
    Set-OutlookProvider EXPR -CertPrincipalName msstd:mail.mydomainname.org
    Set-OutlookAnywhere -Identity "EXCHANGE2013\Rpc (Default Web Site)" -InternalHostName "mail.mydomainname.org" -InternalClientsRequireSsl $True -InternalClientAuthenticationMethod NTLM
    The last thing we did was ADD in DNS on the internal DNS server the mail.mydomainname.org and point it my Exchange Server private IP (192.168.1.2)  If you do the whole host name and not just mydomainame.org it wont mess up access to say an external
    website.
    hope this helps!

  • Outlook calendar synchronization does not delete

    Hi
    I am synchronizing my Outlook calendar with my N93 and it is generally working fine, but I am having one problem:
    If an appointment that has already been synchronized to the phone is later on deleted it will not be removed from the phone calendar on the next synchronization. In the same way if the time of an existing (and already synchronized) appointment is updated both the old and the new time is registered as an appointment on the phone after the next synchronization.
    However, the non-deleted items are not synchronized back to Outlook so after the sync the two calendars are actually not the same any more.
    I have set up PC Suite to synchronize both ways and letting Outlook win on conflicts. (have also tried to set it to just Outlook->phone, but no difference)
    I am running MS Outlook 2007 on Windows XP SP2.
    Nokia PC Suite is version 6.85.14.1.
    My phone is a N93.
    Thanks in advance!
    /Peter

    Salam,
    I want to know if i can record sound in my N93 for more than 1 minute.
    And i want if i can find a logiciel for alarme to install in my N93.
    Thank you very much for your answer.

  • PE 13 Does Not Delete Files From SDCARD or Camera When Importing

    I recently updated from PE 12 to PE 13.  Now, when I import pictures, even though I use the option to Verify and Delete files, it never asks and never deletes any files.  I tried changing the setting and changing it back but that doesn't help.
    If you are responding, please don't tell me not ot use this option.  I have been using it since PE 1 and never lost anything.  I know how to recover from any problems that may crop up.  I know many of you don't trust PE and always save the SD card until you have verified the contents of the library and backed it up but that's way too much trouble for me.

    This quote is from MS Outlook 2003 for Windows, Outlook is now available for Mac, I think you have to purchase Offiice though.

  • When trying to set up syn with outlook 2010 - it does not show as an option

    When trying to set up syn with outlook 2010 - outlook it does not show as an option

    Hi smrkevin,
    Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community.
    What version of BlackBerry Desktop Software do you have installed? If you do not have the latest version listed here: http://bbry.lv/ds97JW I would advise upgrading it.
    If you already have the latest version of Desktop Software, can you verify if you are running a Click to Run installation of Outlook? You can check this in Outlook -> Help -> About Microsoft Outlook. If you are using a Click to Run installation, you will need to install a full version of Microsoft Outlook to setup synchronization. For more information, see: http://bbry.lv/qDIoXO
    Hope this helps.

  • IPhone4 MS Outlook 2010 Sync - DOES NOT WORK

    Syncing between MS Outlook and iPhone4 Contacts and Calendars does not work. Is there a fix for this? Music and videos sync, but anything related to MS Outlook 2010 does not.
    Help! Any fixes or suggestions. I want to keep my iPhone4 and not toss it.
    Computer OS: Windows 7 64 bit, MS Office 2010 Ver: 14.0.5128.5000 (32-bit. iPhone4 Version: 4.3.1 (8G4).

    My life and contacts are in the hands of MS Outlook 2010. I need to get a new smart phone that will sync with Outlook. I was shocked to see that Windows Phones running Windows Mobile 7 and having the latest version of MS Office Mobile WILL NOT sync contacts with MS Office Outlook 2010 running on one's PC. There is a very limited work around using a Hotmail account, but it will only work with a relatively small number of contacts (I have 3,500!).
    To what extent does the iPhone 4 sync using the procedure you outlined above? Does it sync 100% of all info in your MS Outlook contacts? For example, does it sync "Categories" and "Groups" information? Also, does the sync work both ways? I.e, does a new or updated contact in one device update the other, regardless of whether the change was originally entered into the iPhone 4 or the computer on which one has MS Outlook 2010?
    Thanks

  • OUTLOOK 2010. Does not reply to emails using the same address that received it.

    Hello,
    Since last week our Outlook accounts are not working properly, when users reply a message it does not reply using the same address that received it, it appears the personal account instead.
    We are using exchange accounts, using Outlook 2010  and the accounts affected are automapped to a principal account (.ost).
    We already tried to recreate outlook .ost profile, repair Outlook installation, reinstall Office.
    Can somebody help?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    We have received many reports as your description since last week. It sounds like the sending behavior in Outlook 2010 has been changed by some Windows/Office update and goes back to the behavior before.
    Before we go any further, I have to mention some of the history for Outlook 2010. In Outlook 2010 without SP1, Mailto’s will use the default/principal account for message when you use Microsoft Outlook 2010 which has multiple accounts delivered to different
    data file. However, in later version (Outlook 2010 SP1/SP2), Outlook doesn’t use the default account set in Account settings for new messages. Instead, it uses the account associated with the mailbox or *.pst file you have in focus.
    Actually, this behavior is controlled by the registry keys. At this point, I suggest we check the following registry entries are exist and set it to the proper value.
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Outlook\Options\Mail
    DWORD value: NewItemsUseDefaultSendingAccount
    Value type: REG_DWORD: 1 for force, 0 to disable.
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Office\14.0\outlook\options
    Value Name: ForceAccountSelection
    Value type: REG_DWORD: 1 for force, 0 to disable.
    Close the registry editor and restart Outlook to check if the behavior what you want would come back.
    In addition, our Outlook MVP, Diane Poremsky has written an article with more detail information:
    http://www.slipstick.com/outlook/outlook-2010/multiple-accounts-and-the-default-account/
    By the way, we still cannot figure out which update is the root of the issue, if someone could test it and share the result here, I would appreciate that. Feel free to post back.

  • When I delete a name from the address book it does not delete it from the drop down name menu when forwarding a message. How do I remove it from the drop down menu?

  • Deleting Voicemail from Landline Call Does not Delete Voicemail from iPhone

    I am a Verizon subscriber with an iPhone 4S, if that matters to this issue.
    I wanted to cleanup my voicemail and not use any of my minutes.  So, I called my iPhone from a landline at the office and entered the voicemail system.  As a test, I deleted the first 3 voicemail messages.  Then I went to the voicemail on my iPhone and checked for messages--the three I had deleted while on the landline phone were still on my iPhone and could still be played.
    Why don't the messages that are deleted from a landline, or another incoming call to the voicemail center, get deleted on the iPhone?
    Thanks in advance.

    Thanks for your reply.
    So will deleting the voicemail message on the iPhone delete it from the call-in Verizon system?
    With two ways of accessing voicemail, on the iPhone Visual Voicemail and from a call-in line to your phone number to Verizon's system, it would seem that the two could get seriously out of sync.  Isn't this a big problem?
    Which is the "master" system.  Don't they ever resync together?

  • IPhone not deleting mail from server

    I realise that this appears to be a recurring problem, but I haven't found a post with an outright solution.
    The problem I have is with the the 2 POP accounts. the MobileMe account works fine.
    On the phone, I have it set to remove mail from server when moved from the inbox. Unfortunately this does not occur and sure enough the mail reappears on my Mac. I've tried setting the 2 accounts on the Mac to mimic the setting on the iPhone (currently the accounts are set to delete right away) but this also does not work.
    Any suggestions are greatly appreciated, thanks.
    Leonardo

    I have Deleted Messages under Advanced set to Never, but do not have anything available to change about Server settings under Incoming settings - just SSL, Authentication, IMAP Path Prefix, and Server Port.
    As already provided, this is an IMAP account.
    All server stored mailboxes with an IMAP account are kept synchronized with the server automatically with each email client used to access the account. You can select to store the account's Drafts, Trash, and Sent mailboxes on the server or locally, but the account's Inbox mailbox is stored on the server and cannot be changed.
    When deleting a message from the account's Inbox mailbox with an IMAP account, the message is removed from the account's Inbox mailbox on the server and transferred to the account's Trash mailbox. This will be reflected automatically when checking the account's Inbox mailbox with the email client used on your computer for accessing the account since all server stored mailboxes with an IMAP account are kept synchronized with the server automatically with each email client used to access the account.
    If you have the account's Trash mailbox set to be stored locally, you can try transferring the messages from the account's Trash mailbox back to the account's Inbox mailbox so these messages will be available when accessing the account's Inbox mailbox with the email client on your computer.

  • Ios7 does not delete old pop server

    My company has recently changed servers for our email accounts. I have deleted the old account and SMTP server from my iphone. I added the new pop account with the new server and have SSL activated. I can receive email just fine. However, when I try to send or reply to an email a message comes up that says "Cannot Send Mail, The user name or password for "old server" is incorrect". This "old server" was deleted, so when trying to access the settings option on this message, it takes me to the new account. Checking the SMTP server the name is correct, as this SMTP account is on as the primary server. Why will ios7 not accept the new server name, and why is it trying to use the "old server" name as the SMTP outging server?

    Apparently, Mail sometimes fails to remove messages from the server when Remove copy from server is set to Right away -- don’t know why.
    I can only guess Mail sometimes has problems communicating with the server, and precisely because the setting is Right away, never tries again. I’d try changing the setting to After one day or When moved from Inbox, and see whether that makes a difference.
    Also, go to Apple Menu > System Preferences > Network, choose Network Port Configurations from the Show popup menu, and make sure that the configuration used to connect to Internet appears at the top of the list.
    Have you checked whether Thunderbird does remove the messages from that server?
    BTW, woodie is wrong. It’s true that Gmail ignores any requests to delete messages from the server made by a POP client, but it doesn’t let the same messages to be downloaded more than once via POP either. Gmail just doesn’t work like a normal POP server would.

  • Windows 7 x64 - outlook 2010 - search does not work

    Hi,
    I have a sbs 2011 essentials, and 5 workstations win 7 pro 64 bits.
    On one of these Workstation (and not the others), searching for a text in mails in Outlook doesn't work. System tells indexing is in progress. No text can be found (even the sender of a mail displayed on the screen).
    Antivirus is MS Security Essentials. The mailbox is not very big.
    No Windows live account, mails are stored on the LAN (sbs server).
    => Indexing status: shows everything is indexed (0 remaining).
    => delete/rebuild index then reboot: no change.
    => tried chkdsk /f: no change (and no error found)
    => deleted temp files. No change.
    => checked indexed contents. Outlook, office Note, and a few (small folders). Appdata is excluded from c:\users.
    => Tried when disabling Security Essentials Real-Time protection, no change.
    It seems that either text indexing blocks / freezes on a file (perhaps the last one, perhaps due to something else like Antivirus), either doesn't tell Outlook/Windows that indexing is finished.
    Is there any way to see where this indexing tool stops? To force it to continue, ...?

  • Empty Trash does not delete photo from Masters File.  Why?

    When I delete a photo and then empty the trash the file still remains in the Masters File in the iPhoto Library. This is concerning since these are large files that don't need to be there. Am I doing something wrong. How do I get rid of these unwanted picture files?

    Make a temporary, duplicate copy of the library and try the three fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your Home/Library/Preferences folder.
    2 - delete iPhoto's cache files that are located in your Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
    3 - reboot, launch iPhoto and try again.
    NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding the the Option key. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
    Fix #2
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library. Select options #1, #2, #5 and #6.
    Click to view full size
    Fix #3
    Rebuild the library using iPhoto Library Manager as follows:
    Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    1 -Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    2 -Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File->Rebuild Library menu option
    4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    5 - Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.
    If you have a lot of photos that you've deleted and the Masters copy is still in the library Fix #3 may be the only one that will remove those rogue files from the library. You'll just have to check after running each.
