Exchange Online Archiving offers users advanced archiving capabilities with the archive mailbox feature. An archive mailbox is a specialized mailbox that appears alongside the users’ primary mailbox folders in Outlook or Outlook Web App.
Users can access the archive in the same way that they access their primary mailboxes. In addition, they can search both their archives and primary mailboxes.
These folders are searchable just like regular emails and the archive is available whenever you are connected to the Internet through Outlook for Windows and Outlook Web App.
All email newer than 2 years is available in your main folders
All email older than 2 years is available in the Archive folders
