M365 email archiving question

[Velvis]

That error happens when you're trying to enable an archive on a mailbox that already has one. Admin -> Compliance -> Information Governance -> Archive.

It should list all mailboxes and if their archives are turned on.

Yes, thats where I was. The user is listed as archive disabled, but gives me the error trying to turn it on.

That's powershell time... and possibly a ticket with Microsoft.

I still have email going back to when I worked at a software company that made DOS based point of sale software. I've kept my inbox contents all along...near 40 gigs worth now.

40GB collected since the days of DOS. 1.5TB = 1500GB 50GB would be all you have plus 20% more.

I leave the implications of the above to the readership.

I'm sure. I'm willing to bet above 90% of the calls you get are from "the camel's back" finally having broken secondary to hoarding!

I can't blame you.

While I can be guilty of email hording I will say I have issue with average users who do so mostly because they end up with all types of complaints and have generally horrible email organization. My biggest peeve was when I worked for a company that had 2GB mail box limits and when users hit that and I am trying to help them and see ~1GB in their "Deleted Items" folder and suggest emptying to which the response is "No I save stuff there" I ask them if they save stuff in their trash bins at home.

Had a user do that with the computer recycle bin.
