Archiving E-mail

What is Archiving?

The new e-mail guidelines establish an 18-month life span for your e-mail.  This means that each week any e-mail reaching its 18-month birthday will be deleted.

What do you do if you have old e-mail that you want to keep?  How do you save it from being deleted?  The answer is to archive the e-mail.

Archiving is a term meaning to file or collect documents.  In our context, archiving means to file your e-mails in another location other than the GroupWise server

provide instructions on how to set up your archive.  Then, when you need to look up an old e-mail, you only have to select File from the menu toolbar and then select Open Archive.  To go back to your current e-mails, you select File again and select Archive to uncheck it.

Get your archive set up if you want to keep those important e-mails.
