O365 Archive Retention Policy

[Minion Queen]

So maybe I am asking it wrong. How exactly do the emails move to archiving and out of the main mailbox?

We've always done it manually

Is this what you are looking for?

Unless I'm missing something.

Thank you! I think that is what I am looking for. I am so out of practice doing this stuff.....

When I moved to Exchange Online, I copied many years of messages from my IMAP server to Exchange. Suddenly they were gone! Here it archived everything 2 years or older to the In-Place archive.

Find a new minion

[Minion Queen]

Yes I believe it should be automatic but hopefully that link will get me where I need to go

He starts next week.

So you mention an OST file as well - does this user have a 50 GB OST locally also? DAMN!

Yeah it is a bit excessive. But he is the President of the company so who knows......

[Dashrender]

But and OST?

I guess they don't corrupt as badly as they used to with PSTs. but still going fully online with OWA would be seemingly desirable. but what do I know

[BRRABill]

Maybe he is like me and doesn't like OWA.

What is wrong with OWA?

I just like my older version of Outlook better.

Nothing wrong with it, per se.

[DustinB3403]

OWA is a universally working platform, but the interface feels foreign to me.

I only use it if I must, which isn't often.

[IRJ]

As far as webmail is concerned, I like it.

[IRJ]

In reality not many users actually use any features that aren't in OWA.

[BRRABill]

Yeah we did a whole thread about this. My bad.

[Deleted74295]

OWA is a bit annoying for when I am writing 1 email whilst referencing another. Happy using both but I can clear through emails faster in Outlook
