Archiving Your Mailbox: A Step-by-Step Guide

Are you tired of running out of storage space in your email account? Do you need to access old emails that are no longer taking up space in your primary mailbox? Look no further than archive mailbox, a feature available in Office 365 that provides additional mailbox storage space and allows for easy access to older emails.

To start using the archive mailbox, simply visit your email account from any web browser. Your archived email will also appear in Outlook Web App. To search all mail, make sure you select 'All Mailboxes' from the search bar, rather than the default 'Current Mailbox.' You can adjust or modify this for your own organization later.

Searching or browsing an archive folder is exactly like searching or browsing a regular folder. Simply select a folder in your Archive and review messages or try to search for an old message. The archive mailbox will show up underneath your own mailbox, just like in Outlook Web App.

In addition, there is a default retention policy applied to any organization mailbox that automatically moves items older than two years into the Archive. This means that all email newer than two years will be available in your main folders, while all email older than two years will be available in the Archive folders.

To get familiar with your archive mailbox, simply follow these steps:

1. Access your email account from any web browser.

2. Select 'All Mailboxes' from the search bar to search all mail.

3. Browse or search an archive folder just like you would a regular folder.

4. Review messages and try to search for old emails.

The archive mailbox is available whenever you are connected to the Internet through Outlook for Windows and Outlook Web App. You can also use content search to export data from an inactive mailbox with an auto-expanding archive if needed.

In conclusion, the archive mailbox feature in Office 365 provides users with additional mailbox storage space and easy access to older emails. With its advanced archiving capabilities, you can rest assured that your important emails are safe and easily accessible whenever you need them.
