Cannot make AutoArchive delete messages in Outlook 2010

I have recently upgraded to Outlook 2010 from Outlook 2007. I previously had AutoArchive set up to delete files from two of the folders in my pst file by date. I figured I would be able to set it up the same way in the new version. First, I set up the main
autoarchive settings:
Then I set up each folder I want auto-deleted individually:
This worked fine in the old version of Outlook. However, in 2010, it doesn't ever delete any messages. When I run AutoArchive manually, that doesn't do anything either.
Based on this page and various google
searches, I have already done the following testing / troubleshooting:
In spot checks, I could not find any items that had the "Do not AutoArchive this item" checkbox marked.
The majority of the Received dates are the same as the last Modified date. Just to be sure, I made the registry change described in the link above, then used Outlook normally for two days. No emails were deleted in that time.
None of the emails in question are marked as Important or have a user-defined category.
I ran the scanpst.exe on my pst file. It did say there were internal errors (no details of the errors, even when I clicked on the details button), so I let it fix them. Then, I ran it again and it said there were no errors. I used Outlook normally for two more
days. It still didn't delete any emails.
The pst file is not on a network share.
The pst file is a unicode-type file, which has a maximum size of either 20GB or 50GB, depending on what source you read. My file is nearly 3GB. It is therefore not full.
My mailbox, which is on a Microsoft Exchange, is also not full.
None of this changes the fact that the AutoArchive is not deleting any emails as it is set to do. Am I missing something, or does this feature just not work in Outlook 2010? Thanks in advance for any help with this, as it is annoying.

Bob-
I finally gave up in frustration. I had to hunt down a third party utility to dump all my Outlook for Mac data back into a format that could be used by Outlook for Windows. Outlook for Mac can import from several sources, including directly from .pst files, but gives you no way to go the other way. Installed Outlook in Windows running in Parallels and dumped Outlook for Mac. Outlook is just about the only program I run in Windows anymore.
By the way, none of the suggestions in the Microsoft forum came close to solving this. I wouldn't recommend Oultook for Mac to anyone.

Deleted messages from Outlook 2010 still appear on iPhone and OWA

I have a very odd issue. When I delete e-mails from Outlook 2010, they are deleted fine. However, when I check my mail on my iPhone, or on the Outlook Web Access, the e-mail is still there. I'm not sure what is going on. Our e-mail
is set up on an Exchange Server. Is there a setting in Outlook that is not deleting the e-mail from the server?
Thanks

Hi Joseph,
Could the emails be deleted via OWA and not displaying in Outlook?
Please try to create a new profile and set it to online mode, then test the issue and see if it still appears in OWA.
If it doesn’t work, I’d recommend you contact with Exchange admin for further troubleshooting.

I cannot open archieved pst file in outlook 2010, can someone help me

Сan some one help me to open my pst file which I had cut copied while moving on to new Laptop, now I cannot open this file in outlook 2010. I tried repairing the file using scanpst and other demo version from kernel and other software... most of them say
"not a valid pst file" Please help me as the date in this pst is important.

Your PST file might have got corrupt or damaged with 'Cut Copied' , that's why you are not able to access it on your new Laptop. Could you let me know how did you export your PST file from your old laptop/system?
A valid way to Export PST file is by using Import & Export option in Outlook (Open Outlook -> File Tab -> Click Options -> Click Advanced -> Import & Export) . Once you export the PST file on your old computer, copy that PST file into
any external storage drive(or by any other medium) and transfer it to your new laptop. Now open Outlook and Create a new profile ( Click the Show Profiles button -> Click
Add to create a new profile -> Enter a name for your profile -> Enter Name, Email id & Password -> Click 'Manually configure server settings' box to get into More Settings and
customize the Outgoing server settings.) Once you are done with this, Import that PST into Outlook using Import & Export wizard.

I cannot make the unread message indicator go away on my 5S. My phone shows 3 unread messages when in fact there are zero unread. Help please

My 5S shows that I have three unread text messages. However, I do not. I have checked everything I know to check and cannot make the little red 3 go away. Any ideas? This is super annoying.

While the action you describe is not normal for the iPhone, is this the only time that it has occurred or has it happened again? There are the normal user trobleshooting procedures that you can follow, power off/on, reset, restore, however, if it has not happened again, it sounds like an isolated incident that has not been duplicated.
Also, do you have a passcode lock on the phone to prevent others from accessing your data?

I cannot sync my iPhone 4s with outlook 2010

On 2/13 my iPhone stopped syncing with Outlook. I have had no problems with sync Outlook for the last 2 years. I have completed all the steps recommended by Apple Support on the page "Troubleshooting Sync Services on Windows with Microsoft Outlook 2010" but I still get an error message that says sync failed because sync server failed to sync iPhone. Any ideas to fix the problem is much appreciated.

I have a 4s as well and sync my calendar and contacts to Outlook 2010. I have not updated from 5.1.1 as of yet. I was curious if you sync through iTunes and if so do you do that over the usb cable or wifi? I had seen in another post on this issue where somebody was using 2007 and upgrading to 2010 resolved but you are already there. Have you scanned your pst file yet?

Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
Or quit mail and restart.
Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

I cannor sync my contact groups from Outlook 2010 (Win 7) onto my iPad. Can anyone help please ?

in Itunes, once you connect the iPad, do you see the 'info' tab? Tap that and scroll down and see if outlook is chosen as the place to sync contacts from. If not, check it and sync and see if your contacts move over.

Inbox reloads, cannot move or delete messages

I'm on a Macbook Air, OS X 10.9.4, using Thunderbird. Previously used Mail, switched in hopes of solving this problem (didn't work). Email is IMAP.
Every few minutes, my inbox will completely refresh and re-download all messages. Many of the actions I had taken will not be reflected - some messages will be marked read, but not all, for example.
I cannot move anything out of my inbox. If I delete, archive, or otherwise move a message, it will appear both in the new folder and again in the inbox, the next time the inbox reloads. If I delete an email five times over the course of the morning, there will be five copies in the trash and one still in the inbox.
As far as I know, I am able to send and receive email without issue.
I was previously using Mail and had a similar experience, though in Mail, all inbox messages would disappear and I had to rebuild or quit/open Mail to get the inbox to reappear. In Thunderbird, it is refreshing on its own.
Help!!

Problems such as yours are sometimes caused by files that should belong to you but are locked or have wrong permissions. This procedure will check for such files. It makes no changes and therefore is not, in itself, a solution.
First, empty the Trash, if possible.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it, then copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
find ~ $TMPDIR.. $ -flags +sappnd,schg,uappnd,uchg -o ! -user $UID -o ! -perm -600 $ 2>&- | wc -l | pbcopy
Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window by pressing command-V. The command may take a noticeable amount of time to run.
Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) to appear.
The output of the command will be a number. It's automatically copied to the Clipboard. Please paste it into a reply.
The Terminal window doesn't show the output. Please don't copy anything from there.

Deleted message in Outlook are still there, H2 delete permanently from the computer!

Here is the situation, I have on tow differnt Mac' both running 10.8.6 and Office 2011.
I get a message and I delete it from the inbox (POP accounts with my ISP, on my own domain), and next from the deleted items folder. so far so good, message (should be) gone forever.
Now if I do a search (via the Mac find function) for the message it shows up as being in:/Users/e/Documents/Microsoft User Data/Office 2011 Identities/Name of User/Data Records/Messages/0T/0B/0M/13K/x00_13558.olk14Message. The last item being the message.
I can open it by double clicking and there it is in its full glory. If I do a search within Outlook it shows up but has no folder located to it, so I suppose it 'finds' it in the same folder where the Mac finds it. Using the find inside Outlook I can find them, delete them again and find them again, etc. Now, not only does this bloat the storage space needed (account now bloated to 1.5 Megabite), but it is also unpleasant (security) to know that they are still there! After all why otherwise delete anything?
First question is, is this normal, and the second question is, how to set Outlook up that it removes these messages permanently?
I had a thread about this in the MS Outlook forum but had no luck there. http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/mac/forum/macoffice2011-macoutlook/deleted-me ssage-are-still-there-how-to-delete/dfad34d7-e8d7-4c0a-8f4e-52e458b43d82 hence posting here.
It be interesting to hear if any of you can recreate the problem, to exclude it being a unique problem on both my machines.
What I did try so far, is:
- Create new account in Outlook (same problem)
- Rebuild database
- Upgrade to latest Outlook version, followed by again
- Creating a new account in Outlook (same problem)
- Rebuilding the database
I hope anybody has an idea as to hwo to fix this

Kurt Lang wrote:
Then that could be a pretty serious security flaw. Deleted items, after a rebuild of the database, should definitely not exist on the drive.
I agree. That is partly why I am trying to find out what is going on here and if there is a fix.
Just to be sure, where did you find it? Was the old database (with the date tacked on) still on the drive when you searched? If so, that should be where you found it, not in the rebuilt database.
The old one was deleted, and if I search within Outlook it will not search in other Identities.
If I search with the Mac find function I can see they are in the Identitie I am talking about.
Try it out in yours please and let us know if you can recreate the problem.
Here is how I suggest you go about it. Write a mail to yourself. Give it a unique title. Download it.
Now do a search on the tittle in Outlook and in the finder. both documents should show up. Now delete them , next delete them from the trash in Outlook. They should be gone for ever. Do the search to check if they still are there. Next follow the suggestion of yourself, and rebuild. Search again in both outlook and finder. Are they there? Mine are. Love to hear any reports.

Cannot undo for deleted messages - using gmail

When I delete an email message using the Mail application I cannot go to the edit menu and choose undo. It does not allow me to choose this option. At one point I was able to do this, but I must have changed some settings in trying to get my email to sync properly. I read a post on the web that said the gmail imap setting should be set auto expunge off- wait for the client to update the server. I did do this and also chose move the message to the trash in the gmail imap settings. Any input in what I can do resolve this issue woould be greatly appreciated. Thanks in davance.

You must delete the account on your iPhone and recreate the account as a POP account.
When recreating the account, don't choose the Gmail account preset.
Select "Other" instead and then POP as the account type - entering the required account setup information for accessing the account as a POP account.

Recover Deleted Note from Outlook 2010

I was on my phone the other day working on a note, when i accidentally deleted it! it took me a long time to make the note only to have it deleted, so i was wondering if there was a way to retrieve the note?
When looking for solutions it said mostly how to recover from Office 365, and if you have to pay for that, then i dont have it. neither do i have Share point because i do not know how to configure it. I was using an HTC HD7 windows phone that has Microsoft
OneNote Moblie version 14.5 and is Office 2011, I'm not sure if that helps. But please if anyone can help me out with this problem as soon as possible it would be greatly appreciated! Im not familiar with too much technology so i can really use all the help
i can get.
Entirely, my question is, is there a way to retrieve a deleted note at no cost? I deleted it from my phone and I'm scared ill never be able to retrieve it and the note was really important! Please anyone who can help please reply as soon as possible.
Thank you!!

Hi,
Which note did you deleted? The Note in Outlook or an OneNote notebook?
Which type of email account are you using?
If you mean the note in Outlook and you are using Exchange account, please check if you can find it in Deleted Items folder in your Outlook.
If you mean the notes in OneNote, please refer to this post and check if it helps:
