Please remember that all emails older than 180 days will be automatically and permanently deleted – you need to continually assign Retention Tags to retain your relevant emails now and going forward.
Any email that is not tagged will be automatically deleted 180 days after its creation date, which is the date on which the email was sent or received.
Please make sure that if you need to retain certain emails, you need to assign the corresponding 5 or 10-year retention tag based on operational and legal requirements before 2nd February 2026. You need to continuously tag relevant emails to retain them. If you don’t need to retain any emails, no further action is required.
Remember – going forward your emails and email folders will need to be continuously tagged to retain them.
Follow this GUIDE to learn how to tag your emails and email folders in Outlook.
Consult the “Quick Guides” and “Data Retention Pathway”.
