Hello,

I agree with Andy’s reply. Here is an excerpt from his recommended article.

Before enabling archive email for users, you need to be a member of the Recipient Management and Organization Management role groups.

If you are, you can use EAC or powershell online.

EAC:

1.Sign in to the Exchange admin center (EAC) and navigate to Recipients > Mailboxes.

2.In the list of mailboxes, select the user to enable their mailbox for archive.

3.In the flyout pane, select Others, and under Mailbox archive, select Manage mailbox archive:

4.On the Manage mailbox archive pane, turn on Mailbox archive, and then Save.

It might take a few moments to create the archive mailbox. When it's created, Active is displayed in the Archive status column for the selected user, although you might need to refresh the page to see the change of status.

Powershell online:

The first step is to connect to Exchange Online PowerShell. For instructions, see https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/exchange/connect-to-exchange-online-powershell

After you're connected to Exchange Online, you can run the commands in the following sections to enable or disable archive mailboxes.

Run the following command to enable the archive mailbox for a single user.

Enable-Mailbox -Identity <username> -Archive

Run the following command to enable the archive mailbox for all users in your organization (whose archive mailbox is currently not enabled).

Get-Mailbox -Filter {ArchiveGuid -Eq "00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000" -AND RecipientTypeDetails -Eq "UserMailbox"} | Enable-Mailbox -Archive
