You may be able to change the archiving settings for a mailbox, mailbox folder, or public folder. Among the settings that you can change, if you have the required permissions, are the following:

  • Whether Enterprise Vault archives the items in this mailbox or folder

  • The default retention category to assign to the items in your mailbox or a mailbox folder

  • For a folder:

    • How old items must be before Enterprise Vault archives them

    • Whether Enterprise Vault deletes items after archiving them

    • Whether Enterprise Vault creates shortcuts to archived items

    • Whether Enterprise Vault archives unread items

If the Change option is not available, there are no settings that you can change.
