Is it possible to set up a button that would perform the same action that AutoArchive does but do it now and only with the item(s) under selection?

I know it's possible to create a button to move anything to a "big Archive" folder, but I don't want that. I like AutoArchive in that it frees up items from my sight but still keeps the structure of folders as I like them.

So I would just want a button that would say: don't look at the age or AA settings--this guy can go to archive right away. (I'd expect to inherit the Archive file from actual settings, though...)

As a work around, Ctrl+Shift+V opens the "Move To Folder...". After you select your archive folder, Outlook will remember it - therefore you can quickly move files into your archive - it's not one click, but may suffice.

Or, save the move as a quick step (click quick steps and create a new one) - then you can assign keyboard short cut, like Ctrl+Shift+1 will move it to the desired folder. This way, if you have more than 1 archive you can have different numbers for each archive (well, up to 10).

Update

Since re-reading your post and your comments, would an option be categorizing everything, then running a rule based upon the categories. IE, mark categories then run the rules; again, still doesn't hit your original request but since no one else is asking, I thought I would at least suggest work a-rounds.

  • Sorry but the "workaround" is about what I said I don't want: I have well over 20 sub-folders in my Inbox, and even if I had only 10 having to think about which one of them to use from which folder kind of beats the purpose, plus would be extremely faulty anyway. Oct 8, 2012 at 15:44
