So to be certain about your settings, look through each folder. I have to do that for my Outlook in order to achieve certainty. <br />

I am connected to an Exchange server. &nbsp;The message I get is that the exchange server is getting full so I have to clean up my inbox in Outlook client. &nbsp;The way I have constructed my inbox is that I have many subfolders which contain emails for each recepient. &nbsp;I will setup inbox to remove email older than 12 months. &nbsp;When I setup my Archive settings, will this remove older emails in all the subfolders also or will it only touch the main inbox?
