Change one click archive folder in Outlook/OWA
Is there any way to change the target folder for "one click archive" in Outlook or OWA?
Some time ago there was one way in files -> tools menu, but that point seems not to exist any more.
...
"The Archive folder is one of Outlook's default folders, like Inbox, Sent Items, and the Deleted Items folder." See https://support.office.com/en-us/article/archive-in-outlook-2016-for-windows-25f75777-3cdc-4c77-9783-5929c7b47028
You can't delete it, you can't rename it and you can't choose to archive (using the Archive button) in another folder.
Hope it helps...
I know that support article, but it is not quite correct. The archive ist no default folder like inbox.
All default folders are created at the setup of a mailbox, but not the archive. You have to create it on your own.
It seems that microsoft changed a good feature to a useless one, if you started to use archive folder before that change.

- I have spent the last 20 minutes realising I have the exact same issue.
I have an archive folder called 2018 (I named it when I could).
Now I cannot rename or point one-click archives to another archive folder (though i can create more)
Really dumb from MS here Sorry, but I have never created the Archive folder, and nevertheless I have it...
