Where do archived emails go?

Archived emails are moved to the "Archived" folder, which is a special folder in your Outlook account. You can access the "Archived" folder by following these steps:

  1. Open Outlook and click on the "File" tab.
  2. Click on "Open & Export" > "Open Folder".
  3. Navigate to the "Archived" folder, which is usually located in the "Local Folders" section.

Note that archived emails are still stored on your computer, but they are no longer visible in your inbox or other folders. You can still search for and access archived emails using the "Search" function in Outlook.
