Access your Online archive via Outlook on the Web (OWA)
If you need to access your Archive mailbox from home and don’t have an eligible license, then you could access your Archive mailbox via Outlook on the Web (OWA). You can ask your mail administrator for the information needed to connect to OWA from home if you do not know the details.
Note: If you’ve created a pst-archive at work, it is not possible to access that from home without making a backup copy of that pst-file for home-usage.
