# Archiving emails

When archiving emails, those emails are moved to the <span class="guibutton">**Archive**</span> folder. The <span class="guibutton">**Archive**</span> folder contains a separate sub-folder for each calendar year. The archived emails are saved to those sub-folders sorted by the year of receipt. The <span class="guibutton">**Archive**</span> folder is created as soon as you initially use this function. The following options exist:

- archive a folder's emails that are older than 90 days
- archive single emails
