Archiving old email messages is an efficient way to reduce clutter in your email inbox. Archiving removes the email messages you no longer need, but it doesn't delete them completely so you can find them again if you need to refer to an old email. If you need to access archived messages in the Mozilla Thunderbird email client, but can't remember the location of the archive folder, you can find this through the program's account settings.
Step 1
Launch Mozilla Thunderbird on the computer.
