Centralise your Outlook Archive .PST files using MailStore
We have recently seen an increase in customers wanting to bring a large selection of PST files into their MailStore archive. It's quite common for people to create local PST file archives of their own email and historically this was a common way to reduce the data within the mailbox on their mail server. The problem we see is that over time many users build up multiple local PST files and as these are scattered around on various client machines it gets very difficult and costly to keep them all backed up. If you also consider in this scenario there is also no way for users to search each others archive it makes it very difficult to meet compliance requirements.

MailStore
Using the MailStore search feature makes it very easy to find messages. Once you've located the message you're after, MailStore gives you a few options such as view, reply, forward or restore, which make it easy to manage single messages however you wish.
In this post I'm going to take a look at how you can use MailStore to take this a step further and quickly restore whole folders, complete with the messages they contain to various destinations.
Finding the email you're after in MailStore using the Outlook search plug-in is beautifully straight forward. In the vast majority of cases simply entering the word you think is likely to appear in the to/from address, subject, message body or even in attachments is enough, however every so often it can be useful to have the ability to whittle down your search results further or be more specific.
I'm thrilled to announce that we've just put the latest major release of the fantastic MailStore Server live on our site.
Below you'll find a quick round-up of the features I think you're most likely to find of interest, but if you'd like the detail in full, as always the release notes are available

One of the things I like about MailStore is the simplicity with which local users can be managed, so I wanted to take a moment to provide you with an overview of the various options available to you in this area.
Before I start, I should point out, that for each member of staff having their email archived, an account must be created in MailStore and a user licence allocated.
One option is to create accounts manually within MailStore, entering the relevant information for each, which will typically include passwords, email addresses and access rights. This works perfectly well for smaller installations, but when dealing with more than a handful of user accounts it does start to make more sense to consider synchronising your MailStore user list with an external user directory service.
As MDaemon has evolved over the years there have been many different ways to setup syncronisation with mobile devices and with the the recent introduction of ActiveSync push email there is a new kid on the block but does this now make ActiveSync the best all in one method for email, calendar and contact syncronisation for all customers who can use it?
