I'm not sure if I understand what you mean by "auto-archiving". In MailStore, I've configured it to archive anything in the user's mailbox (except Trash) every night. Every night, any e-mails that reach 2 years old are removed from the mailserver (we use KerioMail). To me, that's as automated as it gets.
Granted, if Mailstore integrated directly into the mail client, that would be great but it hasn't been a problem for our users. ---------------------- 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 10:38:23 -0600 Subject: Re: ArcMail? I recently installed the freeware version of MailStore on my home box. Looks pretty good, but it lacks auto-archiving and Outlook integration. We have about 250 mailboxes, many PSTs (gotta get rid of those!), and at least 350GB in the Exchange DB.
