Confirmation

Depending on the change made to the Archive store different items will need to be checked.

• If changing the name, verify the new name is showing under Configuration > Archive Stores.
• If browse and search has been disabled, then verify access to the store by navigating to the Archive tab and attempt to verify if mail located within this store is able to be found. 
• Alternatively, if you have set the database to Read-only or Do not archive more emails on the current database, then a new Archive store for any new emails that would be archived during this period should be created with the settings from New Archive Store settings. If set on an older database a new database will not be created unless a new email needs to be archived for that particular date range.
