What is archive email?

**al3** · 2007-11-18, 03:59 PM

For the life of me I don't understand the concept of Archive Email.

What is the difference between this and a regular email?

Would some kind soul explain in simple English what Archive Email is all about? Maybe I'm missing out on a good feature?

Thanks,
Al

Archive Email is just a way for you to remove an email from your inbox without deleting it. If an email is related to other Sugar data (contacts,accounts,etc) and you delete it, it will be removed from the related module as well. So, to clean up your inbox, you would "Archive" the email.

Hope this helps.

Thanks. I see. It's just a place to store in and out mail so that it does not 'clutter' up the in or out box. They ought to put your explanation in the help screen for mail. It makes more sense than what they have there now.
