Rebuilding Archive
Try this if messages in Mailbox are over 30 days old and/or user
can not open archive
Rebuild the archive by holding down the CNTL + SHIFT key and then
selecting OPEN ARCHIVE. You will be prompted to rebuild the mailbox,
select YES. If archive will still not open, contact the Help Desk
at x87600. If the rebuild is successful, exit GW and restart.
Messages (over 30 days old) should start archiving within a few
minutes.

It is also possible that the oldest message in the mailbox (or
folders) is hanging the archive process. Try archiving the oldest
message manually by highlighting it and selecting ACTIONS, ARCHIVE.
If it does not archive, this is the source of your problem. Delete
the message, exit GW5 and restart. The remaining messages (over
30 days old) should start archiving within a few minutes.
