# Archive

Mail a member has filed away without deleting.

**Archive** holds conversations a member has put out of the way without deleting them. It isn't quite Outlook's Archive folder: archiving here is a decision about a conversation, not a place a message is moved to.

![The Accounts shared inbox with Archive selected in the TeamEmail sidebar, listing archived conversations including a reconciled statement from Grantham Steelworks and August remittance advice from Roger Attlee covering invoices INV-4380 onwards.](https://www.sorviai.com/help/teamemail/shared-inboxes/archive.png)

*Conversations the team has archived, kept out of the working list.*

> **Note:**
>
> Archiving is safe for anything that might not be finished: the moment a customer replies, the conversation returns to Open for whoever is watching the address.
