Archiving email helps you manage your disk space usage on the GWMail system by moving messages stored on the server to folders on your computer. Such folders are typically referred to as Local Folders.

The process that follows is simply this: You are going to create folders on your computer (Local) and then drag and drop messages from the GWMail (Remote) to these folder. By default, Outlook Express has local folders in addition to folders for your other email accounts. These folders are located on your computer and not on the server.

We recommend that you delete the message(s) and folder(s) that you have transferred from GWMail to your computer. If you have received a quota warning or are close to your quota, this is particularly helpful in freeing up space on your GWMail account.

To delete messages and/or folders, select the messages (or folders) and click the Delete button or press the Delete key on the keyboard.
