Archive not working in outlook 2013

I am trying to setup an auto archive for a user. I have gone through the process of creating the .pst to use and is stored in his network drive. I have configured the autoarchive settings to archive anything older that 01/08/2010 and also ticked the archive
items marked as do not archive. everything looks correct and when I run the archive I can see it quickly goes through all the folders and it creates the subfolders within the archive but no emails are actually archived. There are over 86000 emails in his inbox
and they date back as afar as 2005 so there is 5 years worth of emails that should get moved according to auto archive settings.

Hi,
Network Drive .pst is not suggested for Outlook since this may cause some possible issues. some reference can be found below:
Network Stored PST files ... don't do it!
http://blogs.technet.com/b/askperf/archive/2007/01/21/network-stored-pst-files-don-t-do-it.aspx
Limits to using personal folders (.pst) files over LAN and WAN links
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/297019/en-us
Please configure a new archive with the .pst file on local, then check the result.

How to troubleshoot issues that Spell Check is not working in Outlook 2013

When composing a new message in Outlook 2013, we may notice that Spell Checker does not recognize misspelled words. When we enter a completely garbage word in Outlook, it won’t be marked as misspelled with a red wave underline. When encountering such issue,
we may follow the troubleshooting guide below to correct it.
1. Make sure you are not typing in the signature area.
Outlook doesn't perform a spell check in the signature area, so if this is the case, spell check won’t work. To confirm if you are typing in the signature area, right click in the area you are typing, if you see a menu listed all you signatures instead of
the normal context menu, then you are not typing in the email body.
If you want spell check work in signature area, use Quick Parts instead of Signature. For more information, see
Quick Parts.
2. Check the Set Proofing Language option.
In Outlook, click New Email to open a new message, click
REVIEW tab > Language > Set Proofing Language, a dialog titled
Language will open.
Please first make sure English (United States) is shown above the double line. If not,
you must enable the language for it to be available to check spelling.
Second, make sure “Do not check spelling or grammar” check box is not selected.
Note: If this method fixes the problem, repeat steps 1 through 3 to reopen to the
Language dialog box, and then click Set As Default.
3. Enable Check spelling as you type.
To enable the option in Outlook, go to File > Options > Mail, click Spelling and Autocorrect button. In the Editor Options dialog, select the check box labelled “Check spelling as you type”.
4. Make sure that you are not using a standalone version of Outlook or mixed versions of Word and Outlook.
The “Check spelling as you type” feature doesn’t work when using a standalone installation of Outlook or mixed versions of Word and Outlook. However, the manual spell check always works. In this scenario, we can set Outlook to
always check spelling before sending. To do this, go to File > Options > Mail, select the check box before “Always check spelling before sending” in the Compose message section.
5. A registry key exists overriding the spell checker
To remove the registry key, please follow these:
Important This article contains information about how to modify the registry. Make sure that you
back up the registry before you modify it.
a. Press Windows key + R to open the Run command.
b. In the Run box, type regedit, and then press Enter.
c. Locate the following registry subkey:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Shared Tools\Proofing Tools\1.0\Override
d. Delete or rename the subkey.
e. Exit Registry Editor. Restart Outlook.
6. Recreate the NormalEmail.dotm and Normal.dotm template
If the two templates above are corrupt, this issue may also happen. To fix it, please browse to:
drive:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Templates
Rename the two templates, then restart Outlook to see the result.
7. Problematic add-in
Add-ins may cause various issues in Outlook, so if you have tried all the suggestions and still no luck, try starting Outlook in safe mode to see if a problematic add-in is the culprit. To do this, exit Outlook, press Windows key + R to open the Run
command, then type outlook /safe and press Enter. If the problem disappeared in safe mode, then go to File > Options > Add-ins and disable the suspicious add-in to resolve the problem.

Not all locales come with a dictionary installed for licensing reasons. 
If you do not have the en-US locale then check that you have a dictionary installed (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) and selected. 
 
You can see which dictionary is selected if you right-click in a text area and open the Languages submenu. 
Also make sure that [X]"Check Spelling" in the right-click context menu has a tick. 
You can also try to toggle the "Check Spelling" item off and on again.

MAPI over HTTP not working correctly, Outlook 2013 clients prompting for credentials during profile creation or opening depending on security of virtual directory

ENVIRONMENT
-1 Exchange 2013 SP1 CU7 server with all roles that is also a hybrid server with Office 365 tenant, mailboxes are all on premise only LYNC online is being utilized right now.
-Exchange 2013 public folders
-Mix of Outlook 2013 SP1 and Outlook 2010 SP3 clients all fully update to day as of Feb 2015
Outlook anywhere is working perfectly across all clients both internally and externally using autodiscover. Both Outlook 2013 and 2010 clients can open the program and create a profile automatically via autodiscover and no additional logon prompts
are seen.
We set the internal and external mapi virtual directory URLs to a valid URL that also matches the Exchange 2013 SSL certificate. We set the security to ntlm, negotiate on the mapi virtual directory. We reset IIS and enabled mapi over http in
the org config. We run in to problems here.
Outlook 2010 clients appear to be working fine. We can create a new profile and open and close Outlook without any logon prompts and verify that MAPIHTTP and Negotiate are used to connect to Exchange.
Outlook 2013 clients are having problems. As soon as we try to create a profile it says your administrator has made a change that requires you to restart outlook and then a windows logon prompt appears. If we authenticate Outlook will open and connect.
This logon prompt should not occur. We can confirm that it is connecting via MAPI HTTP and Negotiate.
If we set the mapi virtual directory to NTLM only then a logon prompt also appears during every open of Outlook 2013. We can confirm that it is trying to connect with MAPIHTTP via NTLM in the outlook connection test screen.
I do not understand this behavior by Outlook 2013 which was supposed to be designed with MAPI HTTP in mind. I would think the same issues would occur with Outlook 2010 but they do not. I am not sure how to resolve this and I am looking for help.

I have the same problem. Exchange and Outlook are both up to date. After creating a new profile Outlook prompts for username/password. A lot of users also get this prompt while
working - the profiles have been "migrated" from Exchange server 2010. <o:p></o:p>
Niko, as i can see in your screenshot you do not have Mapi over HTTP enabled. Why? You can change settings in the security tab – if you have Mapi over
HTTP enabled all options are grayed out (please correct me if I
am wrong):
This is a very annoying thing – does anybody else have the same problem?
Any suggestions on this?

Hi,
Is the user using Gmail?
First, we need to confirm the account status is healthy, let the user logon Webmail to send and receive emails to check if there is any error.
Then, make sure the IMAP settings are correct as below:
Incoming Mail (IMAP) Server - Requires SSL
imap.gmail.com
Port: 993
Requires SSL:Yes
Outgoing Mail (SMTP) Server - Requires TLS
smtp.gmail.com
Port: 465 or 587
Requires SSL: Yes
Requires authentication: Yes
Use same settings as incoming mail server
Full Name or Display Name: [your name]
Account Name or User Name: your full Gmail address ([email protected]). Google Apps users, please enter username@your_domain.com
Email address: your full Gmail address ([email protected]) Google Apps users, please enter username@your_domain.com
Password: your Gmail password
Another possible cause is that the data file of this account has corrupted, I suggest you run Scanpst.exe to repair the data file(.ost) and check the result.
The default location of Scanpst.exe should be:
32-bit Windows
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office15
64-bit Windows
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office15
64-bit Outlook
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office15
Click-to-Run
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office 15\root\office15
The data file location can be found in Outlook: File -> Account Settings -> Account Settings -> Data Files tab.
If the problem persists, I want to know what the error messages are. To protect the user's privacy, please send it to our email address:

Search of Personal Onlive Archive Not Working in Outlook or OWA

Whenever I try to search messages content contained in the archive mailbox from Outlook 2010 or OWA 2010, there are zero matches found even when I search for a keyword that I can see in the subject of a message in the archive.
Searching for messages works fine when searching the primary mailbox, but not the Personal Archive Mailbox.
We just enabled Archive mailboxes last week, so this the first time I tried searching and it may have never worked.
What would prevent searching of archive mailboxes from returning any results even when you are sure your are searching for text that is contained in messages in the archive mailbox?

Its not that its not available in Sp2, its that there are some improvements that I saw once Sp3 was installed.
You could always open a case with Microsoft support, though I suspect they would suggest upgrading to Sp3 first.
Note that SP2 is no longer supported after 4/8/2014
I assume that you have rebuilt the search indexes and gone through the usual troubleshooting already.

I have not done anything yet. How can archive search indexes be rebuilt?
It would the index of the database itself. If you haven't done this already, you can stop the indexing service, delete the index files themselves on disk ( same dir as the database itself) then restart the index service to rebuild the index and
recrawl.

I found a blog with more detailed instructions on how to delete the catalog. So, I deleted it and, an hour or so later, the search of the archive mailbox works in OWA. It is a small database with only a few test pilot users. I assume rebuilding
the index will take longer when we deploy it to everyone.

Attachment don't open en previewer is not working in Outlook 2013

When i get office attachments in an e-mail in outlook 2013 on a windows 8.1 pro.
The attachments don't open. And the previewer of outlook tels me that the content can not be previewed.
Any one any idea what can be the solution to open and preview these documents?

Hi,
Did you get any error message when you try to open attachments?
What's the file type of the attachments? Can you open and preview a Word or Excel attachment in Outlook? By default, Microsoft Outlook 2013 blocks potentially unsafe attachments (including .bat, .exe, .vbs, and .js files) that can contain
viruses.
In addition, please try to clean out the Temporary Outlook Files folder to check if it helps. See:
http://www.howto-outlook.com/faq/securetemp.htm
Please let me know the result.

Send file as email not working when Outlook 2013 is default mail client

Have Adobe Reader XI 11.0.2 installed. Running Windows 7 Pro 64 bit with Office 2013 installed. When I set Default E-mail Application to Microsoft Outlook from Preferences I receive the following error trying to send any file as an e-mail:
"Either there is no default mail client or the current mail client cannot fulfill the messaging request. Please run Microsoft Outlook and set it as the default mail client."
I have toggled Microsoft Outlook 2013 off and back on as the default e-mail handler in the Default Programs of the Control Panel, but this has not resolved the issue.
I am guessing this may be a new bug since Outlook 2013 only recently came out, but if not, and someone has a fix, please let me know.
Thank you,
- Brian

Please try the steps mentioned at: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/813745 and check whether the issue is resolved or not.
If not, then try starting the outlook in safe mode using (Outlook.exe /safe) and check the issue again.
Hopefully, these will resolve your issue.

PDF printer not working in Outlook 2013

I have the PDF printer add in activated, but when I try to use the PDF printer in Outlook 2013, nothing happens.
The program turns for a while, but then closes without the PDF file being created.
Used to work without problem for earlier versions of Outlook.

You probably need to upgrade. According to the compatibility table (
https://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/compatible-web-browsers-pdfmaker-applications.html)
Outlook 2013 is compatible with Acrobat XI (11.0.1) or higher only.

Outlook Archive not working in 2010/2013 versions

Hello,
I have a few users who are having some problems with their archives. They are not able to see them in their Outlook Desktop Applications, but they are visible on the OWA. I work for a university and all of this started happening after they upgraded their system
to 2013. I am trying to figure out if this is something I can fix from the users PC's or if I have to take it up the chain.
Thank you!
Sorry if this was not super specific, I will answer any questions you have to narrow down the issue.

Hi,
Let’s begin with the following article:
http://www.msoutlook.info/question/523
As the above suggestion, online archiving feature only works with specific versions of Outlook. Specifically, it works with versions of Outlook that come from volume licensing and not with versions purchased through retail.
Thus, we can try to check the Outlook version:

Out of office/free busy not working for Outlook 2013

Hi! I have a user on our network that cannot use Out of office or see free/busy information in meeting requests. We have hundreds of working 2010 clients but this one is 2013 and NOT a member of our domain. They are connected to exchange
and can do anything except the above. When I do a test of email autoconfiguration it just fails. DNS resolution is working fine but it can't connect to the server for these two functions only. Any articles I can find assume the user is remote
and outside the network but he is connected internally. Any ideas?
Thanks!

Hi,
Please switch to Outlook 2010 client and login OWA to check this issue.
The Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 Availability service makes free/busy information available to Outlook client. Then Outlook uses the Exchange Server 2010 Autodiscover service to obtain the URL of the Availability service. As you
mentioned, it failed to do a test of email autoconfiguration. So I suggest the following methods for troubleshooting
Please switch to Outlook 2010 client and login OWA to check this issue.
Have you configured
Autodiscover Service for Internet Access?
Use Test-OutlookWebServices cmdlet to
verify that the Autodiscover service settings for Outlook clients are configured correctly.

Hi,
What's the size or your archive.pst file? Please first make sure it's not getting close to 50 GB limit.
If the size far below 50 GB, please try to use the Inbox Repair tool to scan and repair the archive.pst file. If the file is corrupt, the autoarchive will not happen.
