Email archiving stores email messages in a secure, searchable system outside the user’s primary inbox.
Why it matters:
- Preserves important communications for compliance, audits, or legal discovery.
- Frees up space in user mailboxes without deleting data.
- Protects organizations from data loss or accidental deletion.
Pro tip: Set clear retention policies — archived mail should be easy to find but securely protected from tampering.
