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!)

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. 

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.

Leading Microsoft Exchange resource site, MSExchange.org, has again awarded MailStore Server with their best accolade in a recent review conducted by Exchange expert, J. Peter Bruzzese. Bruzzese conducted a thorough test...

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.
