auto delete sent items
I would like to autodelete items I sent older than a month.
I set this property:
Yet, we are 2022-09-19, and I still have my first undeleted item from 2022-07-19:
Those before were deleted by me.
- Were any messages deleted?
Autoarchive runs on the last modified date, which would be the date it was sent unless you moved the messages.
You need to set a registry key to archive by received date (which is also the sent date) - but that shouldn't matter with sent items - unless you used delay send, then its the date it was actually sent, not when you hit Send.

no message deleted.
I know the date I sent it is the same it was went since it was received right away
I doubt I should need a registry key, it should be quite a basic thing?
- Since auto archive didn't work with your settings, I would set the key - if, for some reason, the modified date on the messages changed, you need the key set. (Moving, marking read, flagging/unflagging or adding categires will change the modified date.)
