+
+## What it does
+
+Archival email keeps a long-term, searchable copy of your mail **outside** the live mailbox. It's useful when:
+
+- You need to retain mail beyond your live mailbox's storage cap.
+- Compliance or policy requires you keep email for a fixed window.
+- You want a recovery option for mail you accidentally delete from the live mailbox.
+
+## How it's different from backups
+
+| | Backups | Archival email |
+|---|---|---|
+| **Type** | Point-in-time snapshots | Continuous mailbox copy |
+| **Granularity** | Restore the whole mailbox to a moment in time | Search and retrieve individual messages |
+| **Best for** | Recovering from a known event ("the mailbox was hacked yesterday") | Long-term retention, occasional message lookup |
+
+You can use both — they cover different problems.
+
+## What's included
+
+- **Per-mailbox archive** — enable on the mailboxes that need it, not the whole account.
+- **14-day quick-restore window** — accidentally deleted mail is recoverable without staff help.
+- **Configurable longer retention** — set retention to match your policy.
+- **Independent password reset** on the archive without touching the live mailbox — so you can grant audit access without disturbing the user.
+
+## How to enable
+
+From the [client portal](https://secure.anhonesthost.com/clientarea.php), open **Add-ons** under your hosting service and pick Archival email. Billing is per archived mailbox.
+
+## How to search archived mail
+
+In WHP, go to the sidebar: **Email → Archive**. Pick the mailbox, then search by date range, sender, subject, or body content.
+
+![WHP Email Archive page](~/assets/screenshots/whp/whp-email-archive.png)
+
+Click a result to view the message in place; click **Restore to mailbox** to send it back to the live mailbox.
