Yes. That's exactly what I'm asking. So, if I set the archive to 5 years, sync, then decide we should go 2 years, then I can add more mail to the archive until the main inbox is down to 2 years? Also, can I "drag" mail back from the archive to the inbox if needed?
You can drag them, or use the Copy/Move menu items. There are programmatic solutions that can automate the process if needed, but nothing built-in in Outlook (apart from said manual actions).
