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 in...
- 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.- Thanks. I was asking if it's possible to switch a user on a 5 year archive to a 2 year archive to move more mail into the archive and further reduce the inbox size.
