# Archive

Conversations you've cleared from your lists without deleting them.

**Archive** holds conversations you've put out of the way without deleting them. It isn't Outlook's Archive folder: archiving is a decision about a conversation in TeamEmail, and nothing moves in your Outlook mailbox.

*Conversations you've archived, out of the way but not gone.*

To archive, open a conversation and select **Archive in TeamEmail** in the toolbar. To bring one back, point to it here and select the button at the right of its row. It works exactly as in a shared inbox: see [Archive a conversation](/teamemail/help-docs/shared-inboxes/archive).

> **Note:**
>
> An archived conversation comes back on its own. The moment a new message comes in, it returns to Open, so archiving is safe for anything that might not be finished.
