All accounts have access to an Archive folder. For Microsoft 365, Outlook.com, and Exchange accounts, the Archive folder is one of Outlook's default folders, like Inbox, Sent Items, and the Deleted Items folder. This folder can't be deleted. If you use Outlook with an Exchange or Exchange Online account, folder policies such as retention policies apply to the Archive folder.

For POP and IMAP accounts, you can create an Archive folder or designate an existing folder to use as the Archive folder. You cannot change the Archive folder location for Microsoft 365 or Exchange accounts.

You can archive one or more selected messages by clicking the Backspace key. If you click the Delete key, the messages go to the Deleted Items folder. You cannot change the behavior of the Backspace key.

If you're using a Microsoft 365, Exchange, Exchange Online, or Outlook.com account, you cannot change the location to which your archived items are moved. The Archive folder is one of Outlook's default system folders and cannot be renamed, moved, or deleted. If you are using a POP or IMAP account such as Gmail, Yahoo, or iCloud, you can change the location of the Archive folder by selecting File > Mailbox Settings > Tools > Set Archive Folder.

Archive is a well-understood feature that is already available in Outlook Mobile, Outlook Web App, and Outlook.com, and even other email providers such as Gmail. Because this is an established name, and because Online Archive is an existing feature, we decided to keep both the same.

AutoArchive is an older Outlook feature that allows automatic moving of old mails to a .pst file. This means that the messages are removed from the server and are harder to find through search. If the hard drive that contains the AutoArchive.pst becomes unusable, these messages are lost. Online Archive is an enterprise-grade replacement for AutoArchive.

This archive contains SDK releases and updates for earlier Windows and Windows Phone platform versions, as well as emulator releases supporting development and UX testing for mobile device experiences. For the latest editions of Visual Studio and the Windows developer tools, see Downloads and tools for Windows.

Questions seeking product, service, or learning material recommendations are off-topic because they become outdated quickly and attract opinion-based answers. Instead, describe your situation and the specific problem you're trying to solve. Share your research. Here are a few suggestions on how to properly ask this type of question.

I am looking for a way to automatically backup and archive certain files on my hard drive to a NAS in Windows 10 pro 64bit. By that I mean that I can add files to the directory on my disk and it will be automatically stored on the NAS when it is available (it's an Ubuntu PC connected as a network drive using samba that isn't always available when the PC is on). I don't simply want to sync the directory, I want the NAS to serve as an archive, so that when I delete files on the source they remain indefinitly on the NAS.I also have directories which I want to simply keep in sync, for that I was thinking I could just use Sync Center.

As an example:I have a folder of photos locally. I'll never delete anything on it, but in case I do or my disk breaks, I want to have a full backup of everything that has ever touched that folder.On the other hand I may have a Downloads directory which I want backed up, but if I delete a file it should also be deleted on the network storage when the next sync occurs.

Windows File History is a built-in backup tool in Settings->Update & Security->Backup.
First, learn the UNC path of your share, like \UbuntuNAS\PictureBackups . It's a good practice to map the drive in My Computer and set 'Reconnect on logon', because then you will have a visual representation of if Windows can see the share on the network. Windows will sometimes show 'Disconnected' just because it hasn't connected to a network drive for some time. If you log on, log off of Windows daily, Windows will attempt to connect on log on each time.

Click Select a Network Location->Add a Network Location . In the "Folder" box, put in the server and share you want to save to, like \UbuntuNAS\PictureBackups . Choose Select Folder without clicking anything , so that it saves to the root of the share. (or make a deeper nested folder with a good name). Click OK.

Note the line "Copy files from" ... it probably starts with Libraries, Desktop, Contacts, and Favorites. Click Exclude Folders. Choose something you don't want to save, like Desktop or Downloads, and click Select Folder. Note that "Libraries" includes Desktop, Downloads, Documents, Music, Photos, Videos. You don't want to waste backup space on stuff you don't need to save. Click Save Changes.

File History is not the easiest nor most reliable backup solution. There are paid products that do it better. Even the free Google File Backup and Sync is better, but uses your network bandwidth, has a limited amount of space if you're using the free version, and it means giving all of your photos to a third party.

Using the built in tools, you can use windows file history to keep a backup running. You can tell it to monitor certain folders and back up every 10 minutes or however longer you want. You can then view previous version of the file and restore as needed.

I'm not sure if your archiving request is 100% obtainable with this, im not sure how file history behaves when space is full, it might just delete the oldest backup session which would not meet your needs.

I use Free File Sync for this. It has 2 tools. One is a gui to make backups once in a while, or one time only, and a 2nd tool without gui that can load in batch jobs created by the other tool. It will do this sync real-time, so the backup is always up-to-date, and it can move files that are deleted to a deleted folder, so it is a perfect solution against FileCryptoLocker viruses too, or you can choose to only sync in one direction, not deleting files that are no longer present in the source.

I'm not sure if Windows has what you are looking for, but I've always used a freeware program called "Personal Backup". It's very customizable (keep every file, delete if deleted, etc.). You might be able to get it to auto-backup by using an auto-run file on your NAS. (or use a windows task to run it every so often)

I'm trying to create .zip file in PowerShell that includes a relative symlink from one file to another file in that archive, but I either encounter an error or the shortcut turns into a non-symlink file after extraction.

I have Wine installed and several Windows applications installed there run fine, if I start them using the right mouse menu "Open with Wine program loader". But if I try starting an .exe file by just double clicking instead, the archive manager tries to open the executable.

And something like a bonus question as a former Windows user: Can this be done easily for a single file I currently see in the file manager (similar to the "Open with..." context menu in Windows) and for many file types together (like in Windows, using the menu "Folder settings" in the Explorer)?

From 17.04, the wine packages have become wine-stable and wine-development. These are coinstallable, so the wine.desktop file is not installed in /usr/share/applications by either of these packages to avoid conflicts. Hence, Wine does not have an entry in the Open With menu. From /usr/share/doc/wine-stable/README.Debian.gz:

After copying some text from GMail to Evernote, the text has large (wasted) space between lines. How do I edit the line spacing after the paste. Please, no work-arounds like passing through NotePad or paste as text-only. I want to be able to modify the linespacing in the Evernote editor.

Slightly better. But, now it puts a blank line between each line. So I have to delete all the blank lines (one per line) to pull everything tight. Not something I want to do with regularity, or worse, with large pastes.

What I really want to do is change the line spacing. I've been waiting patiently on 4.x hoping for a fix for this (I had read somewhere that 4.x was going to fix it). So I'm pretty bummed that this problem still persists. I see that a lot of "the internet" is complaining about it.

I'm using 4.2.0.3616 (120603). I pasted the contents of an e-mail from Gmail into a note using Ctrl+V and the note looks correct to me. Are you still seeing this problem when using this specific version of EN 4 or higher?

I paste things in from all over the place (Outlook, PowerPoint, Chrome, etc). Invariably some stuff comes across with the ULTRA annoying wide line spacing and there's just no way to fix it once it's in Evernote that way. I want:

After pasting, you can select the pasted text and press Ctrl+Space (or select Format -> Simplify Formatting from the menubar). This removes all style attributes and font tags from the underlying HTML, which means that it should eliminate line-height properties as well.

I have the same issue. Lots & lots of basic text editing problems. Line spaces double when I don't want them. Copy & past fonts get upscaled & downscaled size at random. Deleting lines does not get rid of the bad formatting. It persists even when the bad lines are removed.

I'm having the same experience, using the Mac desktop version 3.2.0 (premium). Even when I "simplify formatting" it's not clearing the formatting consistently. Some lines are "simplified" to single-spacing - others have a line inserted between. Tried CTRL/Command-SHIFT-V instead of CTRL/Command-V and I still end up with wide spacing. Same thing with space-V, as Emerick suggested. And, like some other users, I tried cleaning up the problem by pasting into an intermediary program (textedit), turning the copy into Plaintext, and pasting into Evernote. Still had an extra space between lines. Only way re-pasting (and that's not a reasonable thing to need to do) works is with a brand new note. It's not a "feature request" to want "simplify formatting" to strip ALL of the formatting out of our notes. I'm growing to really, really like Evernote but, as another user commented, Evernote's "failure to support plain text" is a major flaw. Evernote needs some kind of line-spacing control, even if it's just the ability to consistently strip down to single-spacing. Fix this please.
