Use Archive to save mail or phone messages, appointments, reminder notes, or tasks to a designated database on a local drive. Archiving items saves network space and keeps your Mailbox uncluttered. For example, if you have important items in your Mailbox that are not currently relevant to your work, you can archive them. You can view archived items whenever you need to. You can also unarchive any archived item.
