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...
A minor update for MDaemon's Outlook Connector plug-in is now available on our site.
The main points of interest are a long list of minor enhancements and fixes for Outlook 2013 users.

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.
In the latest version of BackupAssist (7.3.1), there was a change to the activation process I'd like to make you aware of as it's understandably catching a few customers out.
In the latest version there was a change implemented to help ensure that as a customer you're on the 'local' build of the software, complete with support links that point back to our technical team here in the UK.
Yet another new BackupAssist update this morning!
While this one's mainly tweaks and fixes, it does include a feature we've been asked for a lot by customers and will certainly be of interest if you run a version of Exchange on a Hyper-V guest.
We often get support queries where the PC clock has been the cause of an issue but never have I seen a few minutes of drift make such a difference.
This one isn't actually specific to BackupAssist but it did rear its head with a customer who happened to be storing their backups on a local NAS. The backup job in question was a 'file protection' one, so the simple backup of files to a local network share as a destination. The job had run fine for many days without errors but suddenly overnight the job would fail with an error like the one below:-
MDaemon version 13.6 is out today and with it some useful enhancements, particularly if you're using ActiveSync with your mobile devices.

It's worth noting this release includes a whole host of minor tweaks to Worldclient (notable an HTML signature editor) and WebAdmin which you can read about in the release notes but I think it's the following you'll be most interested in.
I recently stumbled across this post about Outlook.com accounts which talks about being able to give out a temporary valid email address, without having to reveal your main account - something you can also do in MDaemon Messaging Server.
The 'sub-addressing' feature in MDaemon has been around for years but it's one of those that's often overlooked because it's a little buried in the account options section.
