Microsoft activator Archives

By default, Outlook uses AutoArchive to archive items at a regular interval. To learn more, see Archive older items automatically.

You can also archive items manually whenever you want. That way, you can control which items to archive, where to store them, and how old an item needs to be before it can be archived.

1. Do one of the following:

   • In Outlook 2013: Click File > Info > Cleanup Tools > Archive.

     
     

   • In Outlook 2016: Click File > Info > Tools > Clean up old items

     

   Tip: Archive and AutoArchive might not be available if your mail profile connects to an Exchange Server. It's also possible that your organization has a mail retention policy that overrides AutoArchive. Check with your system administrator for more information.

2. Click the Archive this folder and all subfolders option, and choose the folder you want to archive.

3. Under Archive items older than, enter a date.

   

4. You can create multiple .pst files if you want to archive some folders using different settings. For example, you may want to keep items in your Sent folder longer than items in your Inbox folder.

5. Check the Include items with “Do not AutoArchive” checked box to archive individual items that are excluded from automatic archiving. This option doesn't remove that exclusion from these items, but instead ignores the Do not AutoArchive setting for this archive only.

6. Click OK.

Turn off AutoArchive

To archive only when you want, turn off AutoArchive.

1. Click File > Options > Advanced.

2. Under AutoArchive, click AutoArchive Settings.

3. Uncheck the Run AutoArchive every n days box.

By default, older Outlook items archived automatically on a regular interval. To learn more about AutoArchive, see Use AutoArchive to back up or delete items.

You can also manually back up and archive items, in addition to AutoArchive or as a replacement. Manual archiving provides flexibility, and allows you to specify exactly which folders are included in the archive, and which archive Outlook Data File (.pst) is used.

To manually archive Outlook items, do the following:

1. Click the File tab

2. Click Cleanup Tools.

3. Click Archive.

4. Click the Archive this folder and all subfolders option, and then click the folder that you want to archive. Any subfolder of the folder you select is included in this manual archive.

5. Under Archive items older than, enter a date.

   

6. If you do not want to use the default file or location, under Archive file, click Browse to specify a new file or location. Browse to find the file that you want, or enter the file name, then click OK. The destination file location appears in the Archive file box.

7. Select the Include items with “Do not AutoArchive” checked check box to include any items that might be individually marked to be excluded from automatic archiving. This option does not remove that exclusion from these items, but instead ignores the Do not AutoArchive check box for this archive only.

Turn off AutoArchive

If you want to archive only manually, you must turn off AutoArchive. Do the following:

1. Click the File tab.

2. Click Options.

3. On the Advanced tab, under AutoArchive, click AutoArchive Settings.

4. Clear the Run AutoArchive every n days check box.

AutoArchive, which is turned on by default, automatically moves old items to an archive location at scheduled intervals. However, you can manually back up and archive items to a location that you specify.

1. On the File menu, click Archive.

2. Select the Archive this folder and all subfolders option, and then specify a date under Archive items older than.

   

3. Under Archive file, click Browse to specify a new file or location if you do not want to use the default file or location.

4. Select the Include items with "Do not AutoArchive" checked check box if you want to override a previous setting to not automatically archive specific items. If you choose to manually archive these items during this procedure, the items will again be subject to the Do not AutoArchive setting unless you manually override that setting again in the future.

5. Click OK.
