Turn off auto archiving. Do not use archiving. Afterward, you may need to recreate the meetings and remove the old meeting. If you use auto archiving, the meetings will be ok until they are 14 days old.

Couldn't do the above instructions.

Why have you made this application so difficult to use? Why couldn't you have just left the existing functionality as it was?

is there a "default" setting that someone could use to have an expiration date on every e-mail they send or do they have to input that on each and every e-mail sent??

i'm getting emails from a client and i don't think she is putting that expiration date on her e-mails intentionally but they all have it now and they never did before... there is really no reason for it... i don't think she is that computer literate for one thing so i hate to bring it up w/ her...

How do you remove the expiration for calendar appointments that you set in the future and then want to update? I like to setup recurring appointments for months in advance, that way they're in the everyone's calendar. When i want to update it, I get a warning message that the "The expiration date and time for message have passed. Do you still want to send it?" I try to say yes, but the message does not send. I know how to remove/change the expiration date for an email message, but can not for the calendar appointment...this frustrates me!

There is a way to set the expiration date for incoming email in Outlook:

-In the message ribbon, click on the down arrow in the lower right-hand corner.

-Under Delivery Options, there is an "Expires After" check box.

-To see the expiration date from your inbox view, choose "Expires" from the Field Chooser (Found in Date/Time fields). You can get to the Field Chooser by right clicking along the headings at the top of your inbox

I too would rather have a rule set an expiration date for inbound, but this is what I do now. Create a fold named something like "Compost" > create sub folders suchas as "Days 001", "Days 030", "Days 365" and so on (I use 1, 3, 10, 30, 90, 365.) > apply properties to each folder for AutoArchive permanently delete after xxx days > Create rules for received mail to deliver to to the appropriate compost folder. > and turn on autoarchive.

This autoarchive folder, the rules to put mail into the folder, plus search folders make the folders accessible by relevant subject yet delete them automatically.

this is a good feature for setting on expiration date on my outbound messages.
However I would like to set up an expiration date on inbound messages as I read them. I may want to keep a message no longer than a month, or 2 days, or have it match my company's email retention policy.
