How to setup auto archiving on Outlook with multiple email accounts to multiple archives?

Question

Currently this is about Outlook 2010 but I am willing to update Outlook if this is easier in a newer version.

I have multiple PCs which receive multiple email accounts in Outlook. I like to have email account A auto-archived in archive A, email account B auto-archived into archive B, etc. And I like to be able to set these settings for folders including subfolders. I.e. do auto-archive of all Sent-Items and subfolder of Sent-Items. Don't do archiving for the Inbox and any subfolders in the inbox. And this maybe different for individual email accounts.

Currently I see only the possibility to set these settings individually to each folder which is a lot of work. Is there an easy way to do this? If there is no easy build in way to do this I am willing to run macros and/or write my own VBA if necessary.

Answer 1

You can use the free Set Folder AutoArchive Settings utility to configure multiple selected folders at once, including subfolders, etc. Just select required folders, set options and run the tool. Please note that I recommend this program because I'm one of the developers.
