That is how many emails I need to sort through and delete... 

I would just do a blanket delete but last time I did that I did delete some important emails.. 

So.. a question... 

I have windows 7 with Microsoft office 2007.... 

It is archiving almost 4000 emails to a place I can't seem to find.. 

If I do a search of all emails using common words I can usually find them and remove them but last time that took me forever... 

I have automatic archiving off so I am not sure why it is doing this... following the help guide does me no good either... 

anyone have any idea of what is going on and where to look for them and to stop it from happening again.

no.. they are archived  somewhere on my pc... 

just not sure where..

no.. they are archived  somewhere on my pc... 

just not sure where.. 

sometimes the webmail also archives them. Mine keep for 2 years in archive I think.

I'll change to comp with office 2007 and see if I can find my archive if you like.

I had to recently but can't remember how I found what I wanted. It was only recently.

Is it in the file menu?

I don't use it but just opened the program and my default file path for archiving is C:\Users\Toon\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Outlook\archive.pst

I only use web based mail and the last few months I've just been spending a bit of time in the first few days of the month unsubscribing from mail I tend to delete without reading.

Yep toon.. that is sort of how I have tried to trace it back but it is not there, I don't have an archive file..... I have now created one but I don't think that is going to fix what is happening to me as I have had archive off... nothing should be getting archived... 

they just go from sight... I can see I have 2000 left but I can't find them.. 

If I do an advanced search I can manipulate the search to find them using a random word.... 

[toon_town_nutter]

Odd.

[catsnknots]

strange thing is that the unread ones I can see and have deleted but the read ones I can't.... ?:|

[catsnknots]

figured it out.. 

there is an "arranged by" option.

I go to custom

then filter

it was saying show only last 7 days.

I chose the "none" option and now I can see them all....

was trying to figure out what word was the naughty one.. 

filter

custom 

or arranged
