you can do it manually rather than using Autoarchive:
if you don't have an Archive folder yet, make one (File | New | Outlook Data
File and put it where you want it)
Make a destination folder in the Archive.pst folder (it should show in your
Folder List view).
Select and drag the emails into the destination folder.

I should have said I am using Outlook 2003.

I want to be able to archive ALL my mail messages received in 2000 (my
mail file is 3 GB in size).
It would seem that nothing that I try will work. Each time I attempt
this nothing is archived and all the mail messages remain in the mail
file.
Can someone tell me what I need to do to do this?
