#How to fix an archive folder in outlook 2016 how to
Instead of giving its users just two options how to manage emailslet them be or delete themOutlook makes it possible to move emails into a special archive folder, which is sort of like that junk drawer most people have in their homes, where small items and documents are stored so they don’t just lie around the house.
That’s not directly possible now but there are workarounds that we’ll look at separately. Heres how to create and save a data archive file using Outlook 2016 for Windows. Many Office 365 users have reported seeing the following error in their system. That’s where the Outlook archive folder comes in. It was probably necessary to maintain compatibility across all the different Outlook programs and apps.īut it’s also shame, because some people make different Archive folders for each year. We’re now stuck with a single Archive folder and that name. Microsoft dropped the Archive folder choice option during an update to Outlook 2016. If you’re interested the feature was at Account | Tools | Set Archive Folder but that now only works for non-Microsoft mailboxes. You could create a new folder with whatever name you like and change the ‘archive’ folder to that folder. All those folders have fixed names which can’t be changed.įor a while there was a workaround in Outlook 2016 for Windows. In modern Outlook with Microsoft hosted mailboxes (, Office 365 hosted or recent Exchange Server) the Archive folder is an in-built folder like Inbox, Sent Items etc. But non-Microsoft mailboxes can rename Archive to anything maybe ‘Miscellaneous’, ‘Store’ or just ‘Old Stuff’. For many mailboxes it’s not possible to rename the Outlook Archive folder.
