When you archive an email where does it go
When you archive an email, it depends on the email client or service you're using. Here are some common scenarios:
- Gmail: When you archive an email in Gmail, it moves the email to the "All Mail" label, which is a default label that includes all your emails, including archived ones. You can still search for and access archived emails in your Gmail account.
- Microsoft Outlook: In Outlook, archiving an email moves it to the "Deleted Items" folder, but it's not permanently deleted. You can recover archived emails from the "Deleted Items" folder if needed.
- Yahoo Mail: Yahoo Mail archives emails by moving them to a "Trash" folder, which is separate from the "Deleted" folder. You can recover archived emails from the "Trash" folder within a certain time frame (usually 30 days).
- ProtonMail: ProtonMail archives emails by moving them to a "Trash" folder, which is separate from the "Deleted" folder. You can recover archived emails from the "Trash" folder within a certain time frame (usually 30 days).
- Other email clients: Other email clients, such as Mozilla Thunderbird or Apple Mail, may have their own archiving mechanisms, which can vary depending on the client's settings and configuration.
In general, archiving an email doesn't delete it permanently, but rather moves it to a designated folder or label where it can be recovered if needed.
