When you try to set up Microsoft Outlook for Mac 2011 to use the archive mailbox feature in Exchange Online for Office 365, your attempt fails.

Tag name	Tag type	Retention age limit (days)	Retention action
Personal 1-years move to archive	Personal	365	Move to archive
Personal 5-years move to archive	Personal	1825	Move to archive
*Personal never move to archive	Personal	No age limit	Move to archive
*This tag is not enabled by default. Items that have this retention tag are either never moved or never deleted.
