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.
Yes, for the next few days we’re unashamedly jumping on the bandwagon of our American friends and slashing the cost of new licences by 25% for the brilliantly simple email archiving software, MailStore Server.
Example pricing:
10 user licence = £214.28 + VAT (Save £71.42!)
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...
Interested in MailStore but too busy to install the trial? Struggling to fit in a live webinar?
A close second are the recorded versions I post from time to time on the Zen Software Youtube Channel like this one, entitled an Introduction to MailStore.
No, you won't get to ask me lots of awkward questions via the live chat which is obviously a shame (!), but it is better suited to skimming through over a coffee if you're flat-out taking care of the day job.
Integrating previously archived emails from other third-party archiving solutions is not a new feature in MailStore but from version 8.1 it has been made much easier thanks to a new archiving profile job.
This new profile can archive and sort emails collected from file sources and so it opens up a realm of possibilities and very much simplifies the process.
A new update for MailStore has just been made available by the German development team and is now available to download from our Web site.
One of the key advantages of using MailStore to archive users mailboxes from your mail server is the ability to delete old email once it has been successfully archived. Typically customers choose to delete messages from users mailboxes that are older than a year, But what if you want to treat some mail folders differently to others?
A question I'm frequently asked by users is "What happens to a user's mailbox in the event they leave the company?".
My first response is usually to qualify what's going to happen with their email address once they've left. Will the address leave with them and will all further messages sent to that address will be bounced? Or will there be another member of staff taking over their role who'll need visibility of those existing messages?
This is a decision for the business and companies will differ from each other in how they'll want to approach the managing of mailboxes and of staff turnover.
Typically I find that companies will remove the Active Directory account as soon as the person has left, and they'll probably also choose to remove the email account from the mail server. Most organisations will tend to keep the email archive for this user intact for some time.
