Migrating old archives into MailStore just got easier
Integrating previously archived emails from other third-party archiving solutions is not a new feature in MailStore but from version 8.1 it has been made much easier thanks to a new archiving profile job.
This new profile can archive and sort emails collected from file sources and so it opens up a realm of possibilities and very much simplifies the process.
One of the key advantages of using MailStore to archive users mailboxes from your mail server is the ability to delete old email once it has been successfully archived. Typically customers choose to delete messages from users mailboxes that are older than a year, But what if you want to treat some mail folders differently to others?
I've been working on a support query recently where a specific MDaemon user's email was vanishing, and seemingly for no reason.
To help diagnose this issue I recommended they use the popular 'Process Monitor' tool to watch for any files being deleted in a specific folder and report which process is deleting them.
