Outlook – Microsoft Outlook – Auto Archive

Hi

I've not got enough magic internet points to add this as a comment but I had the same problem. even after checking all troubleshooting stuff mentioned here and elsewhere.

My solution was to delete the following:
OutlPrnt
Outcmd.dat
Outlook.srs
Outlook.xml
(my mail profile is called outlook)
and I left the Outlook.NK2 file in tact then rebooted and it worked.

Back up these files before deleting just in-case it breaks anything.

Answering my own question here. My research has pointed me to the fact that this, as I said in my question, is a preventative measure implemented by Microsoft to keep two senders from entering to a spam feedback loop. The only way I know that this can be done is by writing a VBA macro. I have started writing it, but I will not have the time to finish it in this week or next. If I ever do finish it, I will come back here and post it. For now, since the bounty clock is ticking, I am just going to answer this now to close out the issue.
