Default auto archiving

I've got a mailbox that receives admin logs. On the first of each
month I want to automatically archive all mail from the preceeding
month into a file named for the month, i.e.; on August 1st I want to
archive all mail from July to july08.pst. Can that be done with
outlook 2003 or would that require a reskit or 3rd party tool?


Autoarchiving in Outlook doesn't work on specific dates, it uses intervals.
If an item hasn't been modified for a specified interval (one month, seven
days, etc.), then autoarchive will move the item to the archive PST. To
accomplish what you describe would take code or a third-party tool, as you
surmise. http://www.outlookcode.com/ has examples of code and, while I
don't know that any third-party tools exist, you can start here in your
search: http://www.slipstick.com/addins/housekeeping.asp . Some of the
descriptions appear close to what you want.
