Enterprise Vault Properties page

This page lists the archiving settings for the selected mailbox, mailbox folder, or public folder. The settings vary according to the mailbox or folder.

The Change option opens the Enterprise Vault - Change Properties dialog box, which lets you change the displayed settings. Your administrator may have locked the settings to stop you changing them. If the Change option is not available, there are no settings that you can change.

The page can contain the following fields:

For example, your administrator can choose to set up one or more folders, called retention folders, in your Enterprise Vault archive. If the administrator has designated the current folder as a retention folder, the retention category selected for the retention folder may override any change that you make to the folder's retention category.

Folder settings inherited from
