Understanding mail archiving criteria and the archive database

You create an Archive Criteria policy settings document from within an Archive policy settings document. After you create archive criteria, you can use them in one or more archive policy settings documents.

Mail file criteria answer these questions:


Note: By default, the archive mail database is stored in the directory archive, located in the data directory. Archive is the default name for the archive directory. The default name format for a user's archive database file is a_xxxx.nsf, where a_ is the prefix and xxxx is the name of the mail database. The name of the archive database is based on a specified number of characters (the default is 50) from the user's mail file name. For example, for the end user John Smith, whose mail file is jsmith.nsf, the archive database name is a_jsmith.nsf.
