9 Years of Lost Emails in Outlook.com after auto-archive operation in Microsoft Outlook 2013 Desktop

Hello

I have had a similar problem to one posted in thread below.

I installed Microsoft Outlook 2013 and set up auto archive to save space on my 64GB SSD.  I moved the archive folder to my external hard drive and tried to set it up to save there.  I eventually ended up with 2 archive files.  And I deleted one.  Something obviously went wrong along the way

I ended up with last 3 months email in Outlook 2013, and then the previous 3 months email in an archive file.  I had ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA that doing this would have any impact on my 10000+ messages in online storage which I assumed would be safe.

Luckily until 2012 my emails were also forwarded to a alternative email provider but from 2012-May 2013 missing all emails 

Outlook 2011 Archive

Hi,

 

Any ideas on the following appreciated

 

I have followed this link http://support.sherweb.com/Faqs/Show/how-to-export-a-backup-file-from-outlook-2011-for-mac-exchange-2010

to export all live email to an archive file with the option of not deleting any information. I then import the file back into outlook.

 

Therefore I have a Live Exchange Mailbox and also an Archive folder. The ideal is that I empty the archive out and then the uses can create new folders under here and move live emails as and when. My issues is when I import the file back in and delete everything from the folder and deleted items the file is still staying at 9 GB

Any ideas on hiow I can reduce this size

Thanks,
