Outlook 2016 Exchange Archiving with Folder Structure

[Martin_IT]

Hi MacRumors Community,

I just upgraded someone to Sierra with Outlook 2016 and the user told me that they need to auto-archive their Exchange account and maintain the same folder/subfolder structure which is an easy option in Windows.

I've searched online and there is no information in regards to this. Has anyone here tested a 3rd party tool that can do this and that is also intuitive for users?

Thank you for taking the time to read my post.

Best,
M

Sorry...don't know of anything that will do that.

Side note: It's my opinion that removing emails from the server to folders "On My Computer" adds to the risk of losing them...particularly in Outlook. If the database gets corrupted the user may not know it and this can and has caused problems when moving to a new computer or recovering from a backup after a disaster.

I'm having this problem precisely (well, one of my USERS is, more accurately): User needs to auto-archive, and maintain their folder/subfolder structure. Doesn't seem like it's too much to ask. Strange that the Mac version doesn't have this capability, but it appears to be the case. What did you end up doing?
