STOP AUTO ARCHIVING IN OUTLOOK 2013...I HATE IT!

HOW DO I STOP AUTO ARCHIVING IN OUTLOOK 2013...I HATE IT!

Hi,
Before going further, would you please let me know more details? Did you mean that you want to disable the auto archiving in outlook in all client computers, and all computers
were in SBS domain environment?
If so, you may configure the group policy and help you to achieve this target. For more details, please refer to the following similar thread.
How to
disable auto archiving in outlook
In addition, if just a standalone computer, you want to disable AutoArchive feature in Outlook. Please navigate
to AutoArchive Settings and configure it. By default, the AutoArchive feature is turned off in Outlook 2013.
Hope this helps.
Best regards,
Justin Gu

  • Online Archives for Outlook 2013 do not appear in Outlook 2013 running on Terminal Server

    Hello,
    We are currently attempting to get our users away from using PST files and instead use the Personal Online Archive feature but have come across a problem
    Environment
    Windows 2008 R2 Remote Desktop Services (Terminal Server)
    Office 2013
    Citrix 6.5 XenApp
    So on the Exchange side I went through the steps of setting up my PST use as a guinea pig for testing.  I was able to setup the Archive database, enable archiving on my mailbox, and import my PST into the Archive database.  
    I then opened Outlook 2013 on my stand-alone PC and there was my Online Archive. Great!
    I then double checked and also saw it on the OWA site on the Exchange server.  Super!
    I finally logged into our RDS (Terminal) server and opened Outlook 2013 there.  But the Online archive was not there.  Hmmm..
    I did some researching and this article about Outlook 2010 suggested it was a permission issue:
    http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/office/en-US/1e8d5d4b-e26b-4be6-b646-eb6e796c6295/exchange-2010-mail-archive-missing-in-outlook-2010-shows-in-owa?forum=outlook
    So I ran through those steps in Powershell but no change.
    I also don't think it's a licensing issue because the license I have on my stand-alone PC is the same volume license keys (MAK) as on my Terminal Server.
    Soo... I'm a bit stuck and was hoping for some help.  I can't proceed with migrating other PST files to the online archive until I get this resolved.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    In theory,
    Outlook reads the
    msExchDelegateLink attribute of the user in AD to display the additional mailbox (Online Archive folder).
    Since the standalone client can display the archive mailbox properly, it seems this attribute is available in AD. I suspect the issue locates on the way that the terminal
    clients access the server. I suggest we check whether the client has properly permission to connect to AD when accessing remotely.

  • AutoArchive doesn't execute in Outlook 2013

    I have a problem with auto archiving in outlook 2013 with exchange server 2007 account.The auto archiving doesn't work automatically unless i restart outlook .after i restart outlook  it works normally
    . any suggestions for this problem will be appreciated 

    Have you tried manual archive? Is it working fine?
    Are you using the archive feature with default settings or any customizations have been done. Check it at: File-> Options-> Advanced…-> button Auto Archive Settings…
    The setting might also have been changed if you are working in a corporate environment and your administrator has done changes to it. There can also be some conflicting corporate policies set on the Exchange server that might be causing the issue.
    Damaged archive.pst file can also lead to the above issue. You should then close Outlook and use the Inbox Repair Tool (scanpst.exe) to scan it for errors or create a new one.
    If your mailbox is currently being archived to a network location then change its location to your local hard disk.

  • AD: Auto Archive Outlook 2010 GPO

    Hello,
    I am currently testing Auto Archiving in Outlook 2010 via GPO but am having a little trouble with it. I copied the ADMX files to the DC and the workstation I am testing it from. I was able to get the policy applied and everything seems to be working. However,
    here is where I am confused. I have it set to auto archive anything older than a month (to test) and the only thing I see archived are Sent emails. Does anyone know why it did not archive the Inbox and anything that was older than  a month in it?
    On this test machine:
    Windows 7 64bit
    Office 2010
    Server:
    Exchange 2010
    AD 2008 R2

    Hi,
    Please use Group Policy Management Console to generate a Group Policy result to check policy apply status.
    After you applied Outlook 2010 Auto Archive policy, its data are stored at:
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\office\14.0\outlook\preferences
    Check such registry hive in your client; make sure your user applied the policy successfully.
    > I have it set to auto archive anything older than a month (to test) and the only thing I see archived are
    > Sent emails.
    For such questions, we recommend you create a new thread and post it in Outlook forum, which is the best place for Outlook related issues:

  • Auto archiving Outlook for pop3 mailbox

    I know it is possible to set auto archiving in outlook with the implementation of rules for exchange account.
    I wonder if auto archiving can be performed for pop3 accounts. Basically trying to auto-archive old email from outlook and save them in NAS device. Don't want to run Time Machine as it will start to backup the whole system.

    Hi,
    According to your description, I noticed that “If we type in the user's email address and name and click Next, the profile is created successfully”. Do you mean the linked mailbox can be setup automatically when you fill in the Name and E-mail Address in
    the Auto Account Setup page? For example:
    If that is the case, the autodiscover service in Exchange side should be configured correctly and it is working for Outlook client automatically account setup.
    If the account can’t be setup automatically when using autodiscover service, please
    verify that the Master Account (Domain2\User1) has full access to the Linked Mailbox ([email protected]) as well as the smtp address using the cmdlets Get-Mailbox and Get-MailboxPermission in Exchange server:
    Get-Mailbox [email protected] | fl PrimarySmtpAddress,*Type*,*Link*
    Get-MailboxPermission [email protected] | fl

  • Microsoft Account/s and Outlook 2013

    Please advise on this scenario:
    John's email is hosted on a Smarter Mail Server [email protected]
    John buys a new Windows 8.1 laptop with Office 365 installed and signs into his Microsoft account using his email address
    [email protected]
    He gets an Outlook.com account [email protected]
    He sets up Outlook to connect to his Smarter Mail server via IMAP
    He adds his old Outlook 2010 PST data file archives to Outlook 2013
    John's Windows Phone was set up by the phone shop last year with a different Microsoft account
    [email protected] where all his contacts are stored
    He adds an Exchange Active Sync account to Outlook 2013 to get his contacts from
    [email protected]
    This is causing all sorts of problems. OST file errors. Incompatibility with Outlook 2010 PST files. Non-syncing of contacts etc.
    How can John get all his mail, contacts and apps into one account across all devices - preferably his main Microsoft account
    [email protected]
    He does not want emails labelled "Sent on behalf of"

     Per your post, this should be the Topology, right?
    In general, this operation is normal and wouldn't cause the issue you list. However, we still occur the following issue:
    1. OST file errors.
    2. Incompatibility with Outlook 2010 PST files.
    3. Non-syncing of contacts etc
    For one, IMAP and EAS profile also use OST file as the data file. The problem appear since you add the Windows Live account into your profile, so I guess the root of issue is caused by Windows Live associated OST.
    For two, please view this:
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/839109/en-us
    Another thread may also help you:
    http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/office/forum/office_2003-outlook/outlookpst-is-not-compatible-with-this-version-of/719c8cf1-a699-4ee4-ae63-8993489bc422
    For three, IMAP doesn't support contact sync. The problem is also related to Windows live account, I would like to know if you receive the email through live account smootly, check if there is any sync issue log in the
    Sync Issue folder
    At last, you may totally create a new profile to check the result of Problem 1&3.

  • Outlook 2013 (included with Home and Business 2013) does not archive everything

    We are running on Exchange 2010 SP3. We have about 5 PCs with Office Home and Business 2013 (click-to-run version). We set up auto-archiving on all machines and set the options to apply on all folders. It's supposed to back up everything 24 months prior.
    It does not back up everything. For example, on my machine which is Windows 8.1 (the others are windows 7 pro), it only backed up emails from March of 2013. We have already applied the registry fix where we do the following:
    registry key (dword) ArchiveIgnoreLastModifiedTime = 1
    Outlook 2013 in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Outlook\Preferences
    That didn't help at all. The machines with Office Home and Business 2010 work fine.
    Anyone else having this issue?
    Thanks in advance,
    Alex

    Seems this is a single problem and we may focus on the problemic machine setting or data file itself.

  • Outlook 2013 archiving doesn't work when cached mode is enabled

    Hi All,
    I have a problem in Outlook 2013 which I've been able to replicate on two separate PCs, operating against two separate Exchange servers.  In both cases, archiving of old items does not work in Outlook 2013 when cached mode is enabled.  It works
    fine if cached mode is switched off so I don't believe the problem is related to the archiving settings.
    Has anyone else come across this?
    Thanks,

    Based on my knowledge, Outlook auto archieve setting is stored in registry and only affects on local host.
    If the AutoArchive doesn't work anymore, please refer to the follow article to troubleshoot the issue
    http://www.howto-outlook.com/faq/archivenotworking.htm
    If we are talking about Microsoft Exchange Online Archiving, I think it would run fine when you in Exchange online mode as your expected.

    Dear Sir / Madam,
    We are using MS OFFICE 2013 with Windows 8.

    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.

  • Outlook 2013 Won't Display My Archived Mail PST Files

    Hi there,
    I have recently upgraded to Outlook 2013 from 2010. I have archived mail in PST files going back many years. I managed to open the first one I tried (Outlook 2003 archive) but noticed it wouldn't display sent items on a common search. I then clicked on the
    name bar to sort by name and it did do it. Later when I went back in it wouldn't display any sent items; it just has the "thinking" dots moving at the top. I left it for 3 hours but nothing. I then closed the archive and moved the PST file to my
    C drive and tried again; nothing. I opened another PST file but still nothing shows.
    Does anyone know what could be causing this? I'm thinking of going back to Outlook 2010 but would rather get 2013 to work properly.
    Regards
    Ross
    Ross Bevin

    Hi Ross,
    From the description, the problem is that the archive.pst file you created in Outlook 2003 doesn't display anything when opened in Outlook 2013, right? If I've misunderstood something, would you please provide a screenshot so that we can understand this
    issue more clearly? 
    What's the file size of the PST file? It may cause unexpected problem if the file size exceed the limit. See:
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/982577
    In addition, we can try to use the Inbox Repair Tool to scan and repair the PST file to check if it helps:

  • Outlook 2013 - MS Outlook has stopped working... (sending Email)

    Hi everyone, this one is extremely frustrating and hoping you can help.
    My colleague has Outlook 2013 running on Win7 Pro. There are two different mail account, both Exchange server.
    Everything works fine except Sending mail. Every time we attempt to send an Email Outlook crashes with the following error:
    "Microsoft Outlook has stopped working... A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available"
    I say every time, but it has occasionally sent Email. Never more than once after starting up Outlook and most often, never.
    The accounts work for using OWM. The accounts work fine configured identically on a different PC.
    Tried Safe Mode. No help
    Uninstalled all AV software. No help
    Ran Office Repair (both Quick and Full). No help
    Short of completely uninstalling Office, re-installing and recreating the profile from scratch (which I would like to avoid) I'm not sure what else to try!
    Any suggestions would be most appreciated.

    Hi,
    In case there's a corruption in your Outlook Data File, please try to repair the data file(.pst or .ost) and check the result:
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/272227
    If you have setup two different Exchange Accounts in one Profile, please try to remove one from the profile, create a new profile to setup the account.

    Check if the issue persists with two different Profiles.

  • 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:

  • Outlook 2013 - Online Archive folders do not remember expand / collapse

    For our QA group, we have just upgraded them from Office 2010 to Office 2013 SP1. We have one user that noticed something. With Outlook 2010, the client would remember which folders he had expanded or collapsed under his "Archive" (the online archive
    generated by the Archiving feature of Exchange server). However, once we upgraded him to Outlook 2013, this is no longer true. Now, the "Online Archive" header is fully collapsed when he open Outlook every time.
    To test, I created a small folder structure with some items in my own "Online Archive" section and was able to reproduce this behavior. Outlook 2013 will remember which folders are expanded or collapsed for the folders in my Inbox but not for the
    folders in my Archive. Is there a way to have Outlook 2013 remember the expand / collapse settings for the Archive?

  • Outlook 2013 - BCC field won't auto populate with frequent email recipient.

    Outlook 2013 - BCC field won't auto populate with frequent email recipient. In the TO or CC, if they enter the first initial of a recipient, it auto-suggests recipients. This does not happen in the BCC field. Is there an option to turn that on?

    Hi,
    Does this issue happen to a certain client or many of them?
    There is no separate option to enable/disable auto-complete for Bcc field.
    Since auto-complete works in the To and Cc fields, it means the auto-complete is not corrupt. We may try turn off the Auto-Complete and turn on it again to see the result. To do this, go to
    File > Options > Mail, scroll down to the
    Send messages section, clear the check box before "Use Auto-Complete List to suggest names when typing in the To, Cc, Bcc lines". Click
    OK. Check the box again, click OK and see the result.
    We may also test it in Outlook safe mode. To do this, press Windows key + R to open the Run command, type
    outlook.exe /safe and press Enter.
    Please let me know the result.

  • Outlook 2013 won't auto-save emails if encryption or digital signature is enabled.

    In Outlook 2013, I recently noticed that although I have Autosave enabled, I never get drafts autosaved. The option is located in File > Options > Mail > "Save Messages" section > "[ ] Automatically save items that have not been
    sent after this many minutes [3]."
    Experimenting with why I have lost 2 long emails after system crashes, I discovered that Outlook 2013 will
    only automatically save emails if the Encrypt and Sign buttons are turned off. By default, I enable both in our corporate environment. So I never benefit from auto-save. I've changed the Autosave location and tested various other settings to
    no avail. But Autosave always works fine if there's no digital signature or encryption enabled.
    Has anyone else encountered this? Is this a bug?

    Hi,
    I just tested on my Outlook 2013 and experienced exactly the same.
    This is pretty much by design, actually you may find you are even unable to manually save these emails as drafts if encryption or digital signature is enabled.  I can also confirm some email service providers don't allow saving Encrypted Emails
    as drafts either, so this is not a bug but how it works in Outlook.
