How does archiving differ from deleting e-mails... - SS2 ICT Electronic Mail (E-Mail Services) Question

Archiving and deleting serve different purposes:

 

• Archiving: Moves e-mails out of the inbox into a separate archive folder. E-mails are stored for future reference without cluttering the main inbox.

 

• Deleting: Removes e-mails permanently from the account.

Users might choose to archive instead of delete because:

• They want to retain important e-mails without losing them.
• Archiving maintains a record of communication for legal or reference purposes.
• Archiving helps keep the inbox organized and clutter-free.
