When your Microsoft 365 mailbox fills up you can’t send or receive emails until you delete emails. But what if you need those emails? Maybe instead you use an old-fashioned PST file for email archives. Well, you no longer need to delete emails or use PSTs because of online. email archiving in Microsoft 365. That is what we’re going to talk about in today’s video.
What is a Microsoft 365 Online Archive?
Each user in your Microsoft 365 can have their own Online Archive. A Microsoft Online Archive cures the following problems
- It gives you extra mailbox storage so you don’t have to delete emails when your mailbox gets full.
- It keeps your actual mailbox nice and lean because emails are archived away. This can help with the performance of your Outlook.
- If you have PST files, you can move them all into your Online Archive. You can then access them anywhere with just an internet connection and you don’t have to worry about backing them up on your PC.
How much storage do you get?
The amount of additional storage space that you get in your online archive does depend on what Microsoft 365 license you have.
With Microsoft 365 Business Basic and Microsoft 365 Business Standard, you get a 50GB online archive. This is in addition to your mailbox, which is also 50GB.
We advise our business clients to use Microsoft 365 Business Premium – it has more features than the Standard and Basic plans. One of those features is the Online Archive – you get 1.5TB of additional storage, again to complement your mailbox size, which is still 50GB.
