Run by Erik Blum, an IT Manager at one of the top 500 companies in the United States, ITSMDaily.com is a news and reviews Web site aimed at IT professionals.
As a user of Microsoft Exchange, Erik made the choice to archive his email with MailStore Server instead of Exchange's archiving features and is keen to share his findings with his audience.
Something I get asked for by MailStore customers on a regular basis is an easy way for one user to search for messages within another's archive.
One approach to this would simply be to log into the MailStore client as an Administrator, which would give you full rights over all the user archives but this is only really useful for one-off access - there is a much more elegant way to tackle this...

As Office365 and other hosted Exchange platforms continue to attract more users, we're starting to see more demand from customers looking for a way to keep an offline copy of their data 'just in case' the unthinkable should happen.
MailStore is perfect for automating this process, and while there's a good setup guide online to cover the basics, last week a customer called in asking for help with the more 'niche' requirement of setting up MailStore to archive email going to aliases in O365.

Of the 324 respondents the results were as follows:-
After a development period lasting a number of years and a successful beta phase that involved over 1,000 service providers, we are very pleased indeed to announce the release of the final version of the MailStore Service Provider Edition.
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.
A new version of MailStore is now available and while it's only a fair small update, it contains an important vulnerability patch concerning the MailStore Web Access, Mobile Web Access and Outlook Add-in.
As always, full details can be found in the release notes and you'll find the latest installer on the download page of our Web site.
If you've got any questions please feel free to get in touch.
