-description: "Learn about archive mailboxes to provide extra mailbox storage."

-Mailbox archiving in Microsoft Purview is sometimes also called *In-Place Archiving* and provides users with extra mailbox storage space. After you turn on archive mailboxes, a user's current mailbox becomes their *primary mailbox* and an additional mailbox is created, called the *archive mailbox*. Both mailboxes are considered a user's mailbox for compliance features such as Content search from the Microsoft Purview compliance portal, Microsoft 365 retention, and Litigation Hold.

-Users can access and store messages in their archive mailboxes by using Outlook and Outlook on the web. Users can also move or copy messages between their primary mailbox and their archive mailbox. They can also recover deleted items from the Recoverable Items folder in their archive mailbox by using the Recover Deleted Items tool.

-Messages can also be moved to the archive mailbox by the [default Exchange retention policy](/exchange/security-and-compliance/messaging-records-management/default-retention-policy) from messaging records management (MRM). This default policy is automatically assigned to every mailbox and does the following:

-You can customize your organization's MRM policy with [retention tags](/exchange/security-and-compliance/messaging-records-management/retention-tags-and-policies). For an example configuration, see [Set up an archive and deletion policy for mailboxes in your organization](set-up-an-archive-and-deletion-policy-for-mailboxes.md).

-After a user's archive mailbox is enabled, up to 100 GB of additional storage is available. If users need more storage space, enable auto-expanding archiving to provide up to 1.5 TB of additional storage in archive mailboxes. For more information, see [Learn about auto-expanding archiving](autoexpanding-archiving.md).

-Explain to users how their archive mailbox works, and how they can interact with it in Outlook on Windows, macOS, and the web. The most effective documentation will be customized for your organization. But for basic instructions, see [Manage email storage with online archive mailboxes](https://prod.support.services.microsoft.com/en-us/office/manage-email-storage-with-online-archive-mailboxes-1cae7d17-7813-4fe8-8ca2-9a5494e9a721).
