Therefore, Microsoft provides an option to enable archive Mailbox in Office 365 where users can store their older emails. Additionally, if the user needs to free up space when the employee leaves, they can disable it. It preserves emails for 30 days before deletion. This blog provides a step-by-step guide on how to enable or disable archive mailbox in Office 365 effectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_83 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-light-blue ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cigatisolutions.com\/blog\/enable-or-disable-archive-mailbox-in-office-365\/#What_is_Archive_Mailbox\" >What is Archive Mailbox?<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cigatisolutions.com\/blog\/enable-or-disable-archive-mailbox-in-office-365\/#Why_Does_One_Need_to_EnableDisable_In-place_Archive_in_Office_365\" >Why Does One Need to Enable\/Disable In-place Archive in Office 365?<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cigatisolutions.com\/blog\/enable-or-disable-archive-mailbox-in-office-365\/#How_to_Enable_or_Disable_Archive_Mailbox_in_Office_365\" >How to Enable or Disable Archive Mailbox in Office 365?<\/a><ul class='ez-toc-list-level-3' ><li class='ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cigatisolutions.com\/blog\/enable-or-disable-archive-mailbox-in-office-365\/#Enable_or_Disable_Archive_Mailbox_Using_Microsoft_Purview_Compliance_Centre\" >Enable or Disable Archive Mailbox Using Microsoft Purview Compliance Centre<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-5\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cigatisolutions.com\/blog\/enable-or-disable-archive-mailbox-in-office-365\/#EnableDisable_In-place_Archive_in_Office_365_Using_Exchange_Admin_Center\" >Enable\/Disable In-place Archive in Office 365 Using Exchange Admin Center<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-6\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cigatisolutions.com\/blog\/enable-or-disable-archive-mailbox-in-office-365\/#Enable_or_Disable_Archive_Mailbox_Using_Powershell\" >Enable or Disable Archive Mailbox Using Powershell<\/a><ul class='ez-toc-list-level-4' ><li class='ez-toc-heading-level-4'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-7\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cigatisolutions.com\/blog\/enable-or-disable-archive-mailbox-in-office-365\/#Conclusion\" >Conclusion<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_Archive_Mailbox\"><\/span>What is Archive Mailbox?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>An <strong>Archive Mailbox<\/strong> is like a secondary mailbox that enables users to store and manage older emails separately. It does not affect your primary mailbox performance. Enabling or disabling the Archive mailbox improves storage efficiency while keeping everything organized.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_Does_One_Need_to_EnableDisable_In-place_Archive_in_Office_365\"><\/span>Why Does One Need to Enable\/Disable In-place Archive in Office 365?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Enabling or disabling archive mailbox in Office 365 helps organizations optimize email management, ensure compliance, and improve storage efficiency. Here\u2019s why you should consider it:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Enabling an archiving mailbox can free up your space in the primary mailbox. Therefore, ensuring smooth performance.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If an employee leaves the company, disabling the archive will help with mailbox cleanup.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>IT Admins can configure retention policies to ensure that older emails can be automatically archived.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Microsoft 365 provides 100GB of archive storage. It is further expandable if needed. This prevents the cost of upgrading the primary mailbox storage.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Given these reasons, enabling or disabling an archive mailbox in Office 365 is advisable. Now, let\u2019s look at how you do it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Enable_or_Disable_Archive_Mailbox_in_Office_365\"><\/span><strong>How to Enable or Disable Archive Mailbox in Office 365?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Enabling or disabling archive mailbox in Office 365 can be done in three ways. The first one is with the help of the <strong>Microsoft Purview Compliance Centre<\/strong>. The second and third one is to manually configure it through <strong>Exchange Admin Center<\/strong> or <strong>Powershell commands<\/strong>. Users can select the method that best fits their needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Enable_or_Disable_Archive_Mailbox_Using_Microsoft_Purview_Compliance_Centre\"><\/span>Enable or Disable Archive Mailbox Using Microsoft Purview Compliance Centre<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This approach requires the user to first verify the licensing requirements in Office 365. Following are the steps to either enable or disable archive mailbox using this approach:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>First, visit the <strong>Microsoft Purview Compliance Portal<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Then, log in with your <strong>MS Office 365 account<\/strong>.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Select <strong>Data Lifecycle Management<\/strong> > <strong>Microsoft 365<\/strong> > <strong>Archive<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A screen opens up that contains users&#8217; names and emails. Locate the user.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Now, click on <strong>Enable Archive <\/strong>or <strong>Disable Archive<\/strong> button as per your need.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Limitations:<\/strong> This method does not allow bulk enabling or disabling of archive mailboxes. Also, emails are primarily archived by using retention policies that must be configured separately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"EnableDisable_In-place_Archive_in_Office_365_Using_Exchange_Admin_Center\"><\/span>Enable\/Disable In-place Archive in Office 365 Using Exchange Admin Center<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This approach is used when a business is archiving mailboxes on an individual level. It is suitable for small and mid-size businesses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, follow the step-by-step instructions below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Visit the <strong>Exchange Admin Centre (EAC).<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Now, log in with your credentials.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>On the left sidebar, go to <strong>Recipients<\/strong> > <strong>Mailboxes<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Then, choose your desired mailbox.

One has to manually visit each user\u2019s mailbox to enable archiving. In addition to this, it does not provide retention policy management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Enable_or_Disable_Archive_Mailbox_Using_Powershell\"><\/span>Enable or Disable Archive Mailbox Using Powershell<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This approach offers to enable or disable archiving for multiple users at once.
