Archiving emails

An archive function is provided as a way to organize the Inbox. By archiving specific emails, you can remove them from the Inbox. (This does not delete them.) Archived emails are saved in "All Mail" and can be searched for. To archive an email, select the email you wish to archive from the Inbox screen, and click the "Archive" button.
