What Folders in Outlook are set to autoarchive?

I have many folders in Outlook set to AutoArchive. I have different PST
files to which I AutoArchive different folders. But long ago I disabled
AutoArchive from Tools, Options, Other, AutoArchive. Now I want to turn
it on again. But I don't remember what folders I set up to archive....
How can I find out?

In trying to find out, I figured I'd just do an Advanced Find from the
top level of my mailbox, select Advanced tab, Field, All Mail fields,
"Do not AutoArchive". I set "Do not AutoArchive" to No, and I got a
list of every message in my mailbox. I set "Do not AutoArchive" to Yes,
and I got nothing back. I specifically enabled it on a folder, so I
knew that one should have been in the list. I would have thought
setting "Do not AutoArchive" to No should have given me the list I
wanted.

So I decided to go ahead and run Archive selecting "Archive all folders
according to their AutoArchive settings". 5 Archive folders appeared.
Of course I can manually go through each of those files and see what is
autoarchived, but that would take some time, not to mention, this time
I did not want to archive many of those items. It would have been nice
to know what folders were already set ahead of time.

Can anyone Help, PLEASE!!!!!

Thank you!!!

I think you'll have to open each one and see if archiving is enabled.
