This feature simplifies the storage and administration of mailbox data, while also increasing Outlook’s efficiency and reducing the probability of PST corruption.

- Decrease the processing time
- Only the most critical mailbox data should be archived or migrated.
For organizations that manage considerable email databases, this precise conversion control is especially advantageous.

Data such as: are present in the archives.
