We’re pleased to announce that MailStore have released V23.1 of the MailStore Service Provider Edition and MailStore Server. New features for V23.1 include: New user limit for the SPE with up...

We mentioned previously that as an MSP you should always be on the lookout for those services that can help you generate that all-important recurring revenue, and that cloud-based email archiving is one service that ticks that box. As a MailStore Service Provider Edition (SPE) partner, it's all too easy to share our thoughts and enthusiasm for the benefits email archiving offers. So we are handing you over to Jonathan Edwards of Integral IT.

It's a special day for our friends over at German vendor MailStore Software!

To celebrate an incredible 15 years in business, they've come up with an exclusive offer through the month of November for anyone purchasing a new MailStore Server license.

From 15th October to 15th November 2021, all new MailStore Server license purchases will receive an additional 3 months of free upgrade cover and support in addition to the selected term.

If you're going for a 1-year option that's 15 months for the price of 12 (or an extra 25%)!

As the trusted IT provider for your clients, one of the 'perks' of your job is that you’re the defacto go-to authority for all manner of (sometimes fairly dry) topics. Email retention policy quite possibly ranks high on the 'dry' scale, but it’s a topic both you and (and they!) really do need to be aware of. The mailboxes of your customers are rapidly growing treasure troves of useful, important and sensitive information, and that will continue to be the case for years to come. This makes them ticking time bombs if not cared for in the right way.

In case you missed the news, as of 1 July 2021, Exclaimer Mail Archiver has been discontinued. But what does this mean for you and your customers? There'll be continued support for Exclaimer Mail Archiver up to September 30, 2022, but if your customers aren't yet ready to give up the many benefits of an independent email archiving solution, you'll need to be discussing migration to a better alternative.

From important information about ongoing deals to sensitive HR records and beyond, email archiving is the ideal way to keep the contents of mailboxes safe but still accessible. It's also an easy way as an IT provider to bolster the standard email backup strategy you put in place for your customers.

 

 

In version 13.1 of MailStore Server and MailStore Service Provider Edition, we see a focus from the development team in two key areas - security and hassle-free management.

Let's take a look at the highlights...

Microsoft have invested tens of millions in their hosting centres, surely as an Office 365 user your data is safe right?

Think again.

An important point that's all too often overlooked by businesses moving to Office 365, is that the responsibility for your data does not lie with Microsoft.

They operate a shared responsibility policy, which means it's the uptime of the service they're concerned with.

There are no provisions for restoring your messages or mailboxes if they're somehow compromised, the backups they have are purely for disaster recovery.

In this post I'll look at this and other reasons you should be giving some thought to the 'what if?' question...

MailStore Email Archiving and GDPR E-mail archiving is an indispensable tool in the armoury of any company looking for a secure but accessible way of storing email. It's also an excellent way to tick a number of the boxes of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). I touched on this topic in a recent YouTube video and today the German vendor MailStore have released a new whitepaper detailing exactly how to fully support your GDPR compliance customers, available here.
