Small issue with retention policies
So using the default retention policy on office 365. The default retention tag is the one that says archive after 2yrs. But that doesn't seem to have applied or at least doesn't seem to be working. ...
Hi Jeff,
I agree with Vasil, is your mailbox an E3 with Archive activated ?
Thanks everyone. The problem does seem to be the inline archive option. I was assuming this retention tag would apply to the archive folder now present in everyone mailbox. Much like delete item is a folder.
I was thinking the inline archive was managed by something else. Anyway, again that appears to be the issue.
Now if I can create a retention tag to send items to the archive folder.

That's what Inbox rules are for :)
VasilMichev. Yes, it just felt like a retention policy sort of thing to me. I suppose it is pretty user specific at that point though. Maybe a user does not really want to use the archive folder. Anyway, this answer the question about what is going on.
Thanks
- If you have licences and option you should activate Archive. You can change the retention to 5 years for example and it's enough time to have mail available offline.
