How do I archive old emails (and access them once I’ve done so)?

If you use IMAP or webmail as your email client and you do NOT regularly delete emails from your account, your mailbox can get full and incoming emails be rejected into your mailbox. We recommend you use the “Automatic Archiving” settings in PSMail to regularly archive old messages.ย  When you are logged into PSMail, you can go to “Manage Account” and then to “Archive Settings.” You will see two settings for archiving, one for archiving large messages that come into your mailbox and another to automatically archive messages that have been in your inbox for a specified number of days (we recommend 720 days).

This prevents the long download times and protects your inbox from a large message that could take up an inordinate amount of space. Continue reading What is archived email and how can I access it?
