Outlook Archive based on Received Date

Outlook Archive based on Received Date

By default Outlook archives emails based on Modified date.  This can cause emails to "get stuck" in your mailbox (or pst) forever.

A Registry change can change the behaviour to archive based on Received date.

Outlook 2010
HCU/Software/Microsoft/Office/14.0/Outlook/Preferences
NAME:   ArchiveIgnoreLastModifiedTime
TYPE: REG_DWORD
VALUE: 1


Emails will now be archived based on Received date, Calendar items based on Scheduled date and Task items based on Completed date.
