Beginning July 2025, in response to Microsoft’s increased fees for storage space, the University implemented automatic email archiving for M365 email. The Online Archive, sometimes referred to as an In-Place Archive, appears as a separate account in the Outlook clients and is fully accessible online and is searchable.
For current Students and Employees, Outlook items older than five years are moved to the Online Archive. Email for Alumni who are no longer enrolled is archived after one year. Email for Retirees is also archived after one year. Email for large Shared Mailboxes is archived after five years.
While email is automatically moved to the Online Archive, you may also manually move messages from your active mailbox to the Online Archive by selecting the message, choosing “Move,” and selecting a folder in the Online Archive.
