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.
- Compliance or policy requires you keep email long-term.
- You want a recovery option for mail you accidentally delete from the live mailbox.
It's powered by our [Bichon](https://anhonesthost.com/bichon/) archival service.

## What's included
- **Per-mailbox archive.** Enable on the mailboxes that need it, not the whole account. Your plan has an **archival slots** quota; the Email page shows current usage (e.g. `Archival: 0 of 0 mailboxes archived (no archival slots in your plan)` if you haven't added the add-on yet).
- **14-day quick-restore window.** Accidentally deleted mail is recoverable without staff help.
- **Configurable longer retention.** Set retention to match your policy.
- **Retained for the life of your account.** We keep your archive for as long as you have an active account with us — there's no 14-day limit or fixed expiry window.
- **Self-service restore.** Mail you accidentally delete from the live mailbox stays in the archive, so you can find and recover it yourself without staff help.
- **Independent password reset on the archive.** Grant audit access without disturbing the live mailbox.
