The Auto-archive feature allows automatically storing Outlook's messages to archive, and, at the same time, removing them from your current email list. This feature, however, may not be needed for specific messages, which either may be important, or information in these messages is selected for future use.
It is possible to exclude specific messages from Auto-archive feature in Microsoft Outlook. It only takes to open a selected message, then click the Office logo in top-left corner of the message, then select Properties. In the General tab select: "Do not Autoarchive this item".

After selecting this option and saving changes with the OK button, the item will not be processed during Microsoft Outlook's Auto-archive process.
