Default Archiving: Can archive any folder except the Inbox itself

I am able to select any folder or group of folders in my PST file for
archiving, including any and all subfolders *within* the Inbox, but cannot
archive the Inbox itself. Attempting to do so raises the single-sentence
error, "Error while archiving folder 'Inbox' in store 'Personal Folders.'"

I've repaired my PST file multiple times, and everything else works without
a problem. Is it possible that I've exceeded some limit for nested folders,
or total number of items? The process seems to fail before it even starts.

Thank you very much!

-Doug

Drag/drop the old items to the archive PST manually and see if any errors
pop up. I seem to remember having a similar issue a few years ago and it was
an odd item in my Inbox that caused the error but I couldn't find it until I
did things manually.
