(This is easier if you can use Outlook desktop to move the messages. Click on 'Search Tools', choose the' Advanced Find' option which would make the 'Advanced Find' window to pop up. Follow the steps below: Open the Microsoft Outlook application for desktop. If all else fails, make a new folder and move the archived items into it, keeping the current folder for this year. This is a means of searching for missing folders using an advanced folder search. Expand the Deleted Items folder then right click on the older archive folder and choose Move. To move the folder out of deleted items, click More > to expand the folder list. Clicking Archive will then bring up the select archive folder dialog.Īfter you select a new folder, move the original folder out of Deleted Items. You can try renaming the current archive folder (it worked for me, once) but if that fails, you’ll need to delete the current folder. It takes about 15 minutes for the folder change to sync back to the server. If you use Outlook 2016, you can change the Archive folder in File, Tools, Set Archive folder.
Is there any way to change the destination folder of the one-click archive button on the web version of Office 365? I create a new 'archive' folder under my Inbox for each year, and I can't see a way to reflect that!
