Keep Archived Messages for How Many Days

This option determines how long archived messages will be saved. Saving a message in the archives allows it to be read at a later date.

By default, your list is set to 0 (zero), or to keep archives indefinitely.

Not saving archives conserves disk space.

Note: If you disable archive saving completely, you will also not be able to purge recipients from future mailings. Users will no longer be able to receive digest versions of the mailing list, and duplicate messages will not be removed.

If you want your users to be able to receive digests, but do not want to keep archives, set the Archive Messages to Enable Merge Mailings setting to "Yes," and set Keep Archived Messages for How Many Days to "1". See Utilities: List Settings: Basic Information: Enable Features to save archives.

Keep How Many Messages Archived

This setting determines how many messages from the list will be saved in the archives. For example, a setting of 10 means that the previous 10 messages will be saved in the archives. Any old messages beyond the most recent 10 messages would be automatically removed.

By default, your list is set to 0 (zero), or to keep archives indefinitely.
