I never really understood why they made everything blue in Office 2007. But accessibility changed a lot and the Office for Mac 2008 is IMHO a mess and sucks compared to the windows version (2007). I can work a lot faster with Office 2007 than I could with 2003 although feature wise they are pretty much the same. It makes it much easier to find your way in all those endless features MS office offers nowadays. If you need the ribbon it is definitely better than all the old menus IMO. In 16:9 that becomes even more ridiculous.īut on the other hand on 16:10 the ribbon is still okay especially since it is easy to minimize it and it only shows when you actually need it and many things work with keyboard short cuts and the mouse menu. It is true they should put some brain power into figuring out how to make a decent side panel instead of wasting precious horizontal space. You won't be able to move folders but can move all the messages in a folder at once.Ĭheck the box next to all the messages you want to archive.ĭrag them to the folder in the navigation pane labeled Personal Archive.

If you want to archive multiple messages at one time, and no archive or retention policies are in place, use Outlook Web App to move the messages from your primary mailbox to the archive. See Retention and archive policies in Outlook Web App for instructions.

Although admins set policies for the entire organization, you can override the policies to suit your needs.

Archive policies control how long messages are left in an email folder before they're moved to an archive retention policies control how long your messages will be saved. Best practices for moving your mail to the archiveĪlthough you can move individual messages from Outlook for Mac to your archive mailbox one by one (you can't move or copy multiple items at once), the more efficient way to make sure your messages get archived is to use Outlook Web App archive and retention policies.Īrchive and retention policies are set by your IT or Microsoft 365 administrator. Talk to your IT or Microsoft 365 admin about co-locating them. If your primary mailbox is in on Exchange Server, for example, and your archive account is in Exchange Online in Microsoft 365, you won't be able to use your online archive. Note: In order for your archive mailbox to work with Outlook for Mac both your archive and primary mailboxes must be either on an Exchange Server (on-premises) or on Exchange Online in Microsoft 365 (cloud).
