The ActiveSync component of MDaemon was actually originally a one-off development. The aim was to ensure Android and iOS users weren't left completely in the cold at a time when developer Alt-N Technologies' focus was Blackberry users following their acquisition by Research In Motion (RIM).

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?

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.

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.

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.
