Outlook Archived Folders Functionality

Why is it I can’t select multiple “Archive Folders” when trying to manage them in Outlook? The fact that I have to right-click on each of them individually to close them from the view is really annoying for this morning.

Somewhat less annoying, but if possible would eliminate this annoyance is the fact that I can’t rename this archive folders permanently.

I have an archive folder for each client directory of e-mails in Outlook. I archive each of them separately to maintain smaller file sizes and also to manage restoring and viewing archived e-mail when necessary.

If someone has an answer to this please let me know. I’ve blogged about it before here and still no manageable solution for me.
