My previous archives have been moved to OneDrive, can I still access them in Outlook?

If you need to access email archives stored in OneDrive first move the archives (.pst) to your local machine before opening them in Outlook. Do not open your archives in Outlook from cloud storage which can result in a corrupt data file.

Will I be able to access my email archives remotely?

If you move your archives to your mailbox you can access archived mail through your Outlook mailbox or via portal.office.com. You will not be able to search for email in your archives from a phone or tablet.
