    Archive an entire email folder in the Windows 10 mail app


    I can archive and retrieve individual emails in the Windows 10 mail app - but is there a way to archive an entire email folder and is there a benefit to doing so?

    :)

  4. Archive an entire email folder in the Windows 10 mail app

    Archived mails are missing in Windows 10 Mail App.

    I'm using the
    native Windows 10 Mail App
    to manage my mail, from a desktop PC.
    The e-mails I have previously archived are not visible in the Archived folder. Where can I find them?


    • I'm using a Microsoft account with a @live.com ending, which is the
      same account I'm writing this question from.
    • The account is set and used in the Mail App, as well as in Windows 10.
    • Receiving, sending, and otherwise synchronizing emails works perfectly and flawlessly, as well as all other features in the
      Mail App.
    • Archived e-mails disappear after some time, and they are not visible in the
      Archived folder inside the Mail App anymore (from under Folders on the left panel).
    • I'd like to recover some archived e-mails
    I'm led to believe the archived e-mails are placed into a separate location after some time, which is not recoverable from
    inside the Mail App. Where can I find my archived e-mails, if it's possible at all? Thanks.

    PS: These archived e-mails seem to be available using the online app, both at mail.live.com and
    outlook.com.
    Is this an intentional design decision?
    If so, that's understandable, although I'd wish to use only the
    Mail App if possible, as it is significantly more streamlined and magnitudes faster than the online version.
