Get Gmail's Archive Functionality in Microsoft Outlook

MsCassLopez shows us a useful feature in Outlook:

If you want to get Gmail's archive functionality in Outlook, there's an easy way to do it built in.

Click the New folder link in the folders pane and call your new folder Archive. You'll see the new folder called Archive.

Then go to Settings > More Mail Settings > Instant Actions > Add Actions > Move To. In the Move To box that appears, select your Archive folder and choose an icon. Enable the Mark as read option if you like, then click Save. If you want the Archive icon always showing then hit the Move Down button to move it to the Show Always section before you click Save.
In your inbox when you mouse over a message, you'll see your new icon. Click it to send the message to the Archive folder.
