Out of the box MDaemon has some very detailed logging and real-time statistics built into the application.
In this post I'll show you how to learn more about what a server's doing using the free Performance Monitor feature in Windows.
Depending upon on the design of your network, it may not always be possible to let MailStore Server automatically synchronise its list of user accounts with your Active Directory.
If that's the case, you way well find the alternative is to add users manually.
Following on from Part 1 of this guide where I explained how to create Exchange Granular Restore ("EGR") compatible backups in BackupAssist, in this second instalment I will look in more detail at how we can restore email from within the backups we have created.
With the release of BackupAssist v7.3 a brand new method for restoring exchange mailbox data was introduced named 'Exchange Granular Restore'.

In the run up to Christmas where there's likely to be a plentiful supply of email purchase confirmations flowing, I wanted to share my recommendations for keeping your data safe and secure.
Our installation guide for MDaemon users details how to get MailStore up and running using a combination of two archiving jobs (journalling and mailbox).
That works really well if you want to archive everyone's mail, but sometimes I'm asked about archiving for a handful of users only.
Fortunately MDaemon uses a highly customisable content filter to journal mail which means it's flexible enough to make this possible...here's how I suggest you go about it...
We've seen a sharp increase today in new virus variants getting through to email users due to the speed at which they're evolving to avoid detection.
