    Here is a link to an article that supports @diane_poremsky reply on Sept 19th with making adjustments to the registry key. Unfortunately, it is a common issue with AutoArchive and this is suggested solution. And, I agree, messing with the registry may be intimidating for non-IT users.

     

    This article contains step by step instructions with images. I recommend that you work with your IT team to assist you with these changes.

      all my other folder are like this:

       

      (picture named 3)

       

      So if I autoarchive, all the other folders (except the sent one) will remain untouhed?
