Template:Archiving Exchange Single Archive Mailbox

For each archive mailbox, please proceed as follows:

• Unless the mailbox of the current user is to be archived into his or her own user archive, log on to MailStore Client as MailStore administrator. Only an administrator can archive emails for other users.
• Click on Archive Email.
• From the Email Servers list in the Create Profile area of the window, select Microsoft Exchange to create a new archiving profile.
• A wizard opens to assist in specifying the archiving settings.
• Select Single Archive Mailbox.
• Click OK.

  

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

  Please note: If the certificate provided by the remote host cannot be verified (e.g. self-signed or signed by an unknown certificate authority), enable the option Accept all certificates to allow MailStore to establish a connection. As this option leads to an insecure configuration, warnings may appear in the summary and/or the dashboard.

• Under Host, enter the name of your Exchange server.
• Under User Name, enter the Windows login name of the user whose emails are to be archived (e.g. [email protected] or [email protected]).

  Please note: Alternatively, any user with the appropriate access permissions for the mailbox to be archived can be specified. In this case, it is imperative that this mailbox is specified under Mailbox (see below).

• Under Password, enter the user's password.
• The field Mailbox must be left blank if a user, whose Windows login name and password is being used, wants to archive his own mailbox. Otherwise, the primary email address of the user whose mailbox you want to archive has to be entered here.
• Click on Test to verify that MailStore can access the mailbox.
• Click on Next.
• 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.
• If logged on to MailStore Server as MailStore administrator, the Target Archive can be specified. Select the archive of the user for whom the selected mailbox is to be archived. If the user does not exist yet, click on Create a New User.

  

• Click on Next.
• In the last step, a name for the archiving profile can be specified. After clicking Finish, the archiving profile will be listed under Saved Profiles and, if desired, can be run immediately or automatically.
