I've been using MailStore ( www.mailstore.com ) for about 1.5 years and it's a great product. We have 75 e-mail accounts and we currently have 17.5 GB of archived storage.
Users perform their own searches which are very fast using either the client software or web interface. Runs on Win2000 and above. Easy to administer. Relatively inexpensive. I've got it setup to automatically archive everything and delete e-mails from the mailserver that are older than 2 years. The only thing I can't address is how it scales to a large enterprise. ---------------------- Bob Hartung Wisco Industries, Inc. 736 Janesville St. Oregon, WI 53575 Tel: (608) 835-3106 x215 Fax: (608) 835-7399 e-mail: bhartung(at)wiscoind.com _____ From: Roger Wright [mailto:[email protected]] To: NT System Admin Issues [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thu, 10 Feb 2011 08:42:33 -0600 Subject: Re: ArcMail?
