Default Update 3

Right click on the "Sent Items" folder Select Properties AutoArchive
tab. What criteria is set here? If it is set to the default settings, then
review the default settings. What you want to check is that you can reach
the drive/path specified for the archive PST file.

You may have to run the inbox repair tool against the archive pst file.

If still getting the error message during archive, I would create/specify a
new PST file to archive to.

Now for PST file/size limits. Outlook 2007 supports two different type of
PST files.

* Microsoft Outlook Personal Folders - Unknown item count. 20GB Max file
size (can be increased
via a registry setting)


* Outlook 97/2002 Personal Folders - 65,535 items per folder. 2GB Max File
size (can't be changed)

Just so you know, legacy (97/2002) PST files are not auto-magically
converted to the new format. Only way to get items from the old format to
the new is via copy/paste/import/export.

I'm using Office 2007

That fixed the problem of the outgoing emails not moving from the out box
to
the send folder.

It also fixed the problem of not being able to see any emails in the sent
folder.

I have archived the Personal Folders.

While archiving I got this message:

"Error while archiving folder "Sent Items" in "Personal Folders"

I have gone into the Sent folder to view sent emails. I can view all of
them. I cannot delete some of them. It starts on 9/14/07 and gose back to
the
very first one sent. When I try and delete them this is what I get:

"The messaging interface has returned an unknown error. If problem
persists,
restart outlook"

Restarting outlook does not clear this message.

I am not opposed to clearing out the Sent Email folder completely if I
have
to.

Everything went fine till it hit the "Sent Folder"

Here is the error I got:

"Error while archiving folder "Sent Items" in store "Personal Folders"

Went into the "Sent Folder" and could see the sent emails.

But when I got to about September where the Archive started, I could see
those emails sent but when I tried to open one this is what comae up:

Have you run the inbox repair tool (scanpst.exe) against your PST
file(s)?

And by the way, yes, PST files have size/item count limitations. What
version of Microsoft Outlook are you running so this info can be shared
with
you. (by the way 905 items isn't even close to the max for how many items
can be stored in 1 folder.)

Sorry for the multiple posts with all the addition. But new light keeps
getting shed on this subject as the days go on.

I'm pretty sure this whole problem has to due with the "Sent Mailbox".

It is telling me that there are 905 in the mailbox.

I think it is full/overfull and cannot handle any more. but the program
will
not allow me to change where sent emails go. I can stop from posting
sent
emails to it but not change it.

Emails do get sent but they stay in the inbox instead of getting moved
to
the sent box.
If I send one to myself, I get it, but it stays in the outbox.

How do I unload this "Sent" folder?? to see if this reall is the
problem??
