I went to view my deleted emails but was unable to. The properties screen
says they are auto archived every 14 days, I was able to turn that off. But
I would like to find them since I have not permenantly deleted them myself.
The properties screen also gives a location , I looked but could not find it.
Please help me.

The default location for Personal Folders files is a hidden folder. Enable
viewing hidden files and folders in Windows Explorer's Folder Options and
then you'll be able to use Outlook to open the archive PST with
File>Open>Outlook Data File.

Also, when happens if you click (in Outlook) Tools>Options>Other>Autoarchive
and check the box labeled "Show archive folder in folder list"?

What's the archive setting for automatically deleting them? If
they've been automatically deleted, they are GONE.

Everything you said to do was already done but I am still unable to view
them. They were not set to delete only to auto archive.

Or you can search any pst files on the machine.

Open Windows Explorer and in teh Address bar, enter

%UserProfile%\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook

and click Go. Do you see anything called an "Outlook data file", whose name
is "Archive"?
