One of the benefits we offer to registered resellers of our email archiving software, MailStore, is a free online product certification course followed by an official accreditation for those that complete it successfully. The idea of the course is to improve confidence in selling and supporting the software, and benefits include an increased level of discount for a period and official logo for use on the site. Medhurst IT are one such company who decided to put a number of their staff forward and our colleagues over at German developer MailStore took a few moments to ask them about their experiences.

We're very pleased indeed to officially announce that 2013 will see the launch of the latest offering in the fantastic MailStore product set, MailStore Cloud Edition. The concept of this product is that service providers will be able to offer their customers, a multi-tennant email archiving service, thereby completing their email service portfolio. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-p3KheAmKk4

email retentionIt's quite likely you're aware that legislation exists surrounding email retention, but do you know which of the many regulations apply to you and your business?  Some industries are subject to more regulations than others, but nearly all companies are affected by some form of legal compliance. Let’s look at some of the main legal requirements that are likely to affect your clients...

In this latest case study, Phil Antill, IT & Facilities Manager at Winbro, kindly took the time to talk to us about his archiving requirements and succesful implementation of MailStore. The Leicestershire-based engineering company initially installed MailStore to aid with a mail server migration, however it's now being used to automatically manage their greatly-reduced mailbox sizes.

It's likely that if you've been using Outlook to archive your emails, by the time you get to the point where you're ready to  use a dedicated email archiving product such as MailStore, you'll have a number of PST archive files knocking about, and quite possibly in a variety of locations. There are a long list of reasons why we recommend against archiving to PST (which you can read all about in another post), but in this article I'm going to focus on what to do if you have gone down that route, and show you how to upload and centralise multiple PST archives in one go rather than one at a time.

How should you archive with MailStore?       If you've just downloaded MailStore, you're no doubt primed and ready to start hitting "next, next, next" to get up and running as soon as possible. Before you do however, it is worth just taking a moment to think about your requirements in a little more detail. We see all sorts of weird and wonderful variations to cater for different customer scenarios, but in most cases you'll need to consider which combination of "journalling", and direct connection to individual mailboxes you're going to use to archive your email.
