Yeah, that's what I meant -- deleted rather than archived. I do think
it would be a smart idea for me to archive my sent items, and I am going
to start doing that, but the real reason I'm loath to archive is that
old habits die hard and I'm so used to having everything right there for
me to look at immediately. The reality is that I don't need that stuff
most of the time, so I'll probably just reset it so it archives it for
me.
I do have a question about that, though: suppose I set it to archive
once every 30 days. Will it replace the previous archive file each
time, or does it start accumulating archive files each time it runs the
procedure? Also is there a limit to how big an archive file can be?
Thanks!

Ok Elise...whatever works best for you...I do prefer to archive my Sent
Items becuz that folder can get SO huge and slow to open...I figure if I
archive anything older than three months, then I can always open the
archive
if I want to see anything older than that, but if not, the Sent Items
folder
stays at a more managable size for me.
Of course, this is becuz I send a ridiculous amount of email...before I
started archiving my Sent Items, I would go in there and see something
like
86,000 of them LOL
But, I'm curious why you think your Sent Items WERE being archived if
you
said you do NOT have an archive.pst....if anything is archived, you
WOULD
have that file. So, I still don't think they were being archived, but
rather, deleted....for some reason....and that's why I suggested that
you DO
create an archive setup for them, so they would be moved to archive.pst
instead of being lost completely.

Hi Linda,
My Outlook file is 137,000 KB so nowhere near 2Gig, so that's good. I
think what was happening is that even though I didn't have it set to
AutoArchive that folder, it was still deleting items over 6 months old
because I didn't actually have "do not archive items in this folder"
selected. I figured that having nothing selected would prevent the
deleting, but I guess not. I made a .pst file yesterday so now I know I
have a good backup as of the end of the day yesterday, and I guess I'll
have to just remember to do .pst's pretty regularly. Anyway that's what
I tell my clients to do so I should practice what I preach!
Thanks for your help,
Elise
