usually when I make a macro for work or excel I just record one, check it and redo it.. outlook wont let me do that.. it makes me start from scratch..
so what I really want to do it run something on a daily basis that says. hey this mail over 2 weeks ok.. move to this personal folder.. easy eh ?
cant seem to make a rule do it.. so I figure a macro that I can run
from time to time.. anyone got any macro's that do anything close to this
that I can hack up ?
You don't need a macro to do this. read the help files on Archiving.
Tools > Options > Other > AutoArchiving...
Set your desired terms and settings.
cool thanks.. I'll go check it.. I figured that had to be somehow to do it..
I thought archive stored to somewhere where it was a pain to get it back..
:afrog:
No, it stores the archived items in a second pst file called archive.pst by default. When searching for emails and stuff Outlook automatically searches in the archive.pst too.
isnt it going to try to move all the stuff in my folders ? or will it just
move inbox.. cause thats all I want to move...
looking at the screen it seems like it will rip though all my folders and
try to move to archive..
this correct ?
Yes, it will archive all items. If you want just emails then you need to right click on the desired folder andclick Properties > AutoArchive tab > the select the desired settings. This will setup archiving on just his particular folder.
cool thanks :thumb:
Dont forget to undo the autoarchiving for all folders from the Tools menu if you did already set it up. ;)
No prob. ;)
