Change Archive Policy?
What happens to a users mailbox if I change the archive policy? So for example, I set a user to a 2 year archive, it syncs, creates an online archive. Then, I decide that I want to go for a 5 year instead. I'm assuming its a one way sync.
- It is possible, yes. Just add/replace the relevant tags in your retention policy.

- Items will not be moved back from the Online archive to the main mailbox, if that's what you are asking.
Yes. That's exactly what I'm asking. So, if I set the archive to 5 years, sync, then decide we should go 2 years, then I can add more mail to the archive until the main inbox is down to 2 years? Also, can I "drag" mail back from the archive to the inbox if needed?
- You can drag them, or use the Copy/Move menu items. There are programmatic solutions that can automate the process if needed, but nothing built-in in Outlook (apart from said manual actions).
Not sure I understand the first question, sorry.
