<div>
I'll post my 2cents on this error, although I figured it out before finding a solution here, just so its in this thread.<br />
<br />
I got this error because I had renamed all the folders in my mailbox under sent items to lower case. I figured it would make it easier to tell the difference between identical folder in my inbox and sent items.<br />
<br />
Changing the folder in my personal folder to match the lower case name in my sent items took care of it.<br />
<br />
I hope this helps someone,<br />

When running the archive option in outlook the following error message comes back<br />
<br />
Error while archiving folder &quot;Inbox&quot; in store &quot;Mailbox - George Salambassi&quot;. A folder by this name already exists.<br />
<br />
This has worked in the past as an auto archive but has now stopped working and we have also tried to manually archive it with the same error. &nbsp;We are using Outlook 2002 (not 2003 which technet article 888089 refered to).<br />
<br />
I did see this opened as a thread late last year but it was abandoned without a solution.
