Why are some of my old emails archived without me archiving them?

On creating an email account, the default archive policy, which archives emails older than 3 months, is applied to the account. Such emails are archived and are stored in the same folder. The default archive policy is set so that your mailbox is managed efficiently. You can customize the archive policy as per your requirements, from the Settings page. Learn more.

                                                                                                                You can use the Do not archive policy to exclude certain folders from your archival policy. This makes sure that emails from these folders are not archived even if they fall within the conditions defined by your archival policy. Learn more.

Archived emails still occupy the same space that they took up earlier. To clear space, you must delete emails instead of archiving them. Learn ...
