Additional Information

Microsoft Outlook has a feature designed to move old mail items off of the mail server to the local machine's hard drive called AutoArchive. AutoArchive is on by default and runs automatically at scheduled intervals, clearing out old and expired items from your mailbox on the mail server. The major disadvantage to this in our environment is that if you have mail that is archived on your local hard drive, you will not be able to view the archived mail when you access your e-mail via the web. If you would like to turn the AutoArchive feature off, then do the following:

1. From the Tools menu, select Options, click on the Other tab, and then click on the AutoArchive button .
