Starting the Archiving Process
Starting the archiving process manually
On the start page of MailStore Client, click on Archive Email and select the appropriate archiving profile from the list under Saved Settings (Profiles). Click on Run. After the archiving process has been executed, a protocol appears. It contains information about the volume of emails that have been archived as well as any errors that may have occurred.
The archiving profile can be executed any number of times. MailStore only archives those emails that are not yet stored in the archive.
Automating the archiving process
In addition to being executed manually, archiving tasks can also be executed automatically according to a schedule. Simply right-click on an existing profile and select Schedule Task. Additional information about this topic is available in the chapter Automating the Archiving Process.
