Archiving Policies

Archiving policies are used to define a set of rules which determine if and then where email messages (both sent and received) are archived.

Every policy is associated with a store, so you can specify where email messages (which meet given criteria for that policy) will be archived. Additionally, a wide range of conditions and exceptions can be specified to control the circumstances under which a policy is applied. For example, you might need to apply different policies for different departments within your organization, or for individual staff members, or perhaps based upon the content or subject line of messages received. You can also use date range options to create policies which are only triggered at certain times and use next policy options to create a series of connected rules.
