Archive Emails

NICeMail provides a separate default Archive folder, where all the archived emails will be listed. This helps you organize your inbox by moving the emails that are no longer immediately needed or relevant to a separate designated folder for easy access and retrieval. 

• All archived emails will be moved to the Archive folder by default.
• The emails deleted from the Archive folder are not permanently deleted and can be recovered from Trash. (Trash emails are deleted permanently if they're not recovered within 30 days)

To Archive emails:

1. Log in to https://mail.gov.in/.
2. Navigate to the folder that contains the emails you would like to archive.
3. Select the required emails from the listing using the selection box.
4. Click on the Archive option in the top pane.
   

This action removes the emails from the listing and moves them to the Archive folder. The Archive action does not reduce the storage used by your account, as the emails still remain in your account. 

Unarchive

To unarchive emails, follow the steps below:

1. Log in to https://mail.gov.in/.
2. Select the Archive folder from the left pane. All the archived emails will be listed here.
3. Choose the emails you want to unarchive using the selection box.
4. Click on the Move to option in the top menu.
   
5. Select the folder where you want the unarchived emails to be moved. You need to select the same folder, to unarchive the emails back to its original folder. 

Once done, all the selected emails will be unarchived and will be available for further IMAP access.
