Answer Wiki:
There are two methods to archive your email: I.Archive Now – Archives documents that have not been modified in over 365 days, or whatever time period was entered in the default configuration settings. Archive is automatic and based on settings. Steps To Archive And Open Your Lotus Notes Email 6.5 II.Archive Selected Documents – Archives only the documents that you have check marked. To Archive Select Documents 1) In your mail folder, place a check mark next to the files you wish to transfer to the Archive. 2) Select Actions -> Archive -> Archive Selected Documents. 3) The “Move to Archive Destination” window will appear. 4) Select the “OK” button to confirm the archive location. Opening Your Archive 1) Go to your email Inbox. 2) Go to: Tools -> Archive -> Default for Last Modified. 3) Double-click on “Default for Last Modified” Your Archive database will open. The archive looks similar to your mail Inbox and displays the emails that have been downloaded to your hard drive. Close out the database when you are finished by clicking out. The archive database has File Drawer icons. Returning To Your Regular/Current Email Inbox: Switch or click onto your other Inbox folder. Do not perform archiving on more than one computer. Archiving will move your selected archive mail to the local computer desktop and can only be viewed at that computer. Archived mail cannot be duplicated at more than one computer/location. How long does it take for the computer to archive email? Depending on the size of the database and to allow time for the file download, you may wish to schedule your archive before lunch or at the end of the work day and let it run. A large archive will take significant amount of time.

What exactly is the msg you’re getting? Check your archive settings and make sure it is set to remove msgs from the mail file after they’ve been archived.

Assuming that the emails are being removed form the mail file have you tried running compact on the file?

You should be running a compact -B nightly via a program document to allow for the white space to be removed.

Also you should check you quota management section in the server document (no brace yourself) it is under transactional logging (who would have though) and make sure it checks your quota on extending you file…. not adding a note.
