Check the auto-archive properties on the folder. Right click on the folder,
choose Properties and go to the AutoArchive tab.

You might also want to check the view settings - right click in an open toolbar area and select the Advanced toolbar. Use the dropdown to set your view to Messages, and not Messages in the last Seven Days.
