    On the message that is left behind several mapi props are added to the message, including one called "Archived Date".

     

    If "Archived Date" has a value greater than the Modified date then EV will not archive it. If you modify the message cause Modified date > Archived Date we will archive the message again.

Sandrine, If you are not removing emails from mailboxes when archiving, you must not be archiving for storage reduction purposes.  Therefor, I would assume you are archiving for compliance or legal purposes, or possibly for DR purposes?  If that is the case, you should definitely look at implementing Exchange Journaling and EV Journal archiving.  The EV Journal Archiving component would enable you to retain a compliance copy of all emails in EV, allowing you to use mailbox archiving to remove old emails from the end user mailboxes, saving space in exchange, and increasing exchange performance.  The savings in exchange storage will eventually offset the cost of the Journal Archiving component.

 

Just a thought!
