Archiving Emails from Scalix
Please note: This tutorial only covers the specifics of archiving a Scalix server. It is assumed that you already have a MailStore Server installation or Test-Installation and are familiar with the fundamentals of MailStore Server. Please refer to the Manual or Quick-Start-Guide.
MailStore Server offers several ways to archive emails from a Scalix server, which are described below. If you are not sure which archiving method best suits your company, please refer to chapter Choosing the right archiving strategy.
Archiving Individual Mailboxes
When archiving individual mailboxes, Scalix functions the same as any other email server. Please refer to the corresponding chapter Archiving Server Mailboxes in the MailStore Server manual.
Archiving Multiple Mailboxes in One Step
When archiving multiple mailboxes, Scalix functions the same as any other email server. Please refer to the corresponding chapter Batch Archiving of IMAP Mailboxes in the MailStore manual.
Archiving Incoming and Outgoing Emails Directly
Scalix offers an easy way to deliver copies of all emails going through the Scalix server into another archive mailbox. With MailStore you are able to archive that mailbox by using an "IMAP Multidrop" profile.
Important notice: Since Scalix 11.1 the Scalix Archiver feature is only available to Business and Enterprise license users of Scalix.

ARCHIVE=bcc:mailstore@mydomain.tld
Step 2: Restarting Scalix Archiver service
