Google Workspace For Staff | Organize Your GMail

Keep your email organized by archiving emails, deleting emails and using labels.

Archive your emails, instead of deleting them

Archived email messages move out of your inbox but stay under All Mail, so that you can find them later.

  1. Sign in to your Google Email Account
    1. Open the message you want to archive.
    2. At the top, click the Archive button.
    3. To archive multiple messages, click the box next to each message and then Archive .


Delete Email

When you delete a message, it stays in your trash for 30 days. After 30 days, the message is permanently deleted from your account and can't be recovered.

  1. Sign in to your Google Email Account
    1. Open the message you want to archive.
    2. At the top, click the Delete button.
