    Just wanted to say thank you. I'm dealing with 50GB (!!!) PST files because no one in our office knows how to Archive.
    I would run a rule to Copy files over in a specific date range, but you cannot do that for Sent items. Only Inbox (received) items. I was ready to pull my hair out.
    With your steps, I assumed that going into the Sent folder and typing in the search field Sent:2016 would sort all the emails for that year.
    Worked like a charm. You saved me hours of work and maybe I'll be able to enjoy what is left of my weekend.
    Thank you again,
    M

      Hi Manny,
      (1) You are right to select the Sent folder.
      (2) You can not specify “Sent:2016” as date range for archiving.
      This is an article about archiving emails by year/month, hope it can solve your problem.
