  • Under Access via, select the protocol to be used to access the Exchange server. Whenever possible, HTTPS should be used.

Please note: Depending on the protocol chosen, there is the option to Ignore SSL Warnings. Generally, these warnings appear if an unofficial or selfsigned certificate is used on the server

.

  • Under Host, enter the name of the Exchange server.
  • Under User Name, enter the Windows login name of the user who has full access to the public folder (e.g. [email protected] or [email protected]).
  • As long as the user's email address matches that of the user's Windows login name, the field Mailbox (opt.) must be left blank. Otherwise, the user's email address has to be entered here.
  • Under Password, enter the user's password.
  • Change the preset value under Mailbox (opt.) only if needed.

  • If needed, adjust the settings for the List of Folders to be Archived, the filter and the Deletion Rules. By default, no emails will be deleted from the mailbox. The Timeout value only has to be adjusted in specific cases (e.g. with very slow servers).
  • Click on Next to continue.

  • At the next step, the Target Archive can be specified. Select the archive of the user for whom the selected mailbox is to be archived (see section "Preparation" above). If the user does not exist yet, please click on Create a New User, then click on Next.
  • At the last step, a name for the archiving profile can be specified. After clicking Finish, the archiving profile will be listed under Saved Settings (Profiles) and can be run immediately, if desired.

More information on how to execute archiving profiles can be found under the topic Email Archiving with MailStore Basics
