365 google mail

You're referring to Google's 365-day email retention policy!

Google Workspace (formerly G Suite) has a default email retention policy of 30 days, which means that emails are automatically deleted after 30 days if they are not marked as "important" or "starred". However, this policy can be customized by administrators to retain emails for a longer period, up to 365 days.

Here's how it works:

  1. Default retention policy: Google Workspace has a default retention policy of 30 days, which means that emails are automatically deleted after 30 days if they are not marked as "important" or "starred".
  2. Custom retention policy: Administrators can customize the retention policy to retain emails for a longer period, up to 365 days. This can be done through the Google Admin console.
  3. Retention labels: Google Workspace also offers retention labels, which allow administrators to apply a retention policy to specific emails or folders. Retention labels can be used to retain emails for a specific period, such as 365 days.
  4. EDiscovery: Google Workspace also offers eDiscovery, which allows administrators to search and retrieve emails that are older than 30 days. This feature is useful for compliance and regulatory purposes.

It's worth noting that even if an email is retained for 365 days, it may still be subject to deletion if it is no longer needed or if the retention policy is changed.
