Archive Mailboxes

You can create an archive mailbox with or without an assigned COS. You can also forward archive email to a third-party.

Note:

Accounts with archiving enabled are counted against the number of Zimbra licenses purchased for archiving. To see current license information, go to the administration console, Global Settings>License page. Archive mailboxes are listed in the administration console along with the live accounts.

Create an archive mailbox and assign a COS

Archive accounts are created based on the Zimbra Archive name templates.

The attribute zimbraIsSystemResource is added to the archive account and set to TRUE.

The archive account is displayed in the administration console.

When a message is received in a mailbox with archiving enabled, a copy of the message is sent to the archive mailbox.

1.	Log on as zimbra.

2.	Type zmarchiveconfig enable <account@example.com> archive-cos <archive>

Create an Archive Mailbox with No COS or Password

If the archive account is not assigned a COS, the following settings are set by default.

•	Mailbox quota is set to 0, unlimited quota.

•	Spam and virus checks are disabled.

•	Hide in GAL is enabled, so the archive account does not display in the GAL

1.	Log on as zimbra

2.	Type zmarchiveconfig enable <account@example.com> archive-address account-archive@offsiteserver.com archive-create false.
