Archive function with disabled PST

Anonymous

Hi,

so I have a setup where PST files are disabled, beacause the working environment is ephemeral and storing them would not make any sense, however disabling PST is also making the Archive function unavailable.

Is there a way to keep PST disable and enable archive function to use it for moving the files to an online archive (or simply a different folder in the same account)?
In other words - have a Backspace move my e-mail to a custom directory.

    However I don't want to use pst files at all, that is fine. What I need is to be able to use manual archiving (i.e. "Backspace" key) for online archives. Is that still not feasible?

    Hello Karol Kozłowski,

    Thanks for posting in Microsoft community.

    It’s not feasible to achieve that because disassociate .pst files from Outlook would not allow us to use them at all, sorry for the inconvenience, about this point, we appreciate your understanding and welcome you to submit feedback to the related team via the link below:
