  1. How do I find my archived mail?


    So I was clearing out my mail and I wanted to save some email so I could look at them later. I decided to archive them so I could do just that. Problem is: I have no idea how to access my archive. I've looked at other threads and they all talk about using outlook emails or live emails, I'm using gmail. I'm using the Mail app that comes with the OS for Windows 10. I've tried going to Folders, then More, but no Archive folder shows up unless I'm using my old Verizon email (which I don't use anymore). Does anyone know how I can access my Archive folder for my gmail?

    :)

    Locate archived mail in Windows 10 Mail

    When you use 'NEW Mail" in Windows 10 Mail one of the listings that appears at the top of the page is the word "Archive".

    How do you locate a file that is put in "Archive"?

  4. How do I find my archived mail?

    Mail Archive

    Hello,

    Let me simplify this.

    Archiving an email is moving and placing it in a Archive folder, where it will continue to exist but will no longer be cluttering your inbox. Moreover these mails will still be accessible in the future if required.

    You can find those mails in your Archive folder. When you click
    Expand on top, you can find the Archive
    folder down there on left pane (I.e. Refer the Picture below). If you want to move the mail back to your inbox from Archive, then you can just drag them and drop to your inbox.

    If you don't find a folder labeled as Archive, then try to re-launch the Mail app, after restarting your PC post complete shutdown. Do check for any available update for Mail and Calendar app from Windows Store. If any, try to update and
    see if problem still occurs.

    If problem still persist, then remove and re-create Mail account in Windows Mail app.

    • Launch Mail App from start menu, then click the
      Settings (I.e. Gear Icon) in the lower left of the Mail App.
    • Select Accounts on the right side menu.
    • Click the account you want to remove, then click Delete, and
      Yes to verify deleting the account information.
    • Once done, click the + Add account, Select, Gmail, Yahoo, or other for the appropriate account, then input the username and password for the account, follow the prompts till complete.
    Keep us posted if you require further assistance.
