With a MailStore add-in, users can access the archive directly from Microsoft Outlook. The add-in can be included in the installation of MailStore Client.
 
 
 
== Access Using Web Access ==
 
 
 
MailStore Web Access provides access to the archive using an internet browser. This has the advantage that no additional software needs to be installed on the user machines. In addition to browsing and viewing emails, web access also offers access through the folder structure and functions for restoring emails from the archive.
 
 
 
== Access Using iPhone and iPod touch ==
 
 
 
Users can access the archive using their iPhone or iPod touch using a version of MailStore Web Access specialized for these devices.
 
 
 
= MailStore Client =
 
 
 
= Searching by Folder Structure =
 
 
 
MailStore stores all archived emails in a MailStore-specific folder structure, in which emails are displayed using the same structure as their corresponding source application. This means that folders created in the source application (e.g. Microsoft Outlook) are not changed during the archiving process and can be found easily in MailStore as well.
 
 
 
[[File:accs_folders_01.png|left|250px]]
 
 
== User Archives ==
 
 
 
For every user, MailStore creates a folder called ''My Archive'' on the highest level of the folder structure. Each folder corresponds to the user archive of the respective user and contains all his or her emails.
 
 
 
If the user has access to the archives of other users, their folders are listed as Archive of ''<User Name>''.
 
 
 
== Opening a User Archive ==
 
 
 
To open a folder, click on the plus sign [+] next to the folder name (as is done in Windows Explorer). Proceed the same with any subfolders.
 
 
 
== Viewing the Emails in a Folder ==
 
 
 
To view the emails in a folder, simply click on the folder name. The emails will be listed below the folder structure.
 
 
 
Click on the text Sorted by: <value> to change the order in which emails are displayed. Emails can be sorted according to:
 
 
 
*Date
 
*From/To (sender/recipient of the email)
 
*Subject
 
 
 
Click on the Field to the right of ''Sorted by'' (called ''New to old'' in the graphic) to reverse the order in which emails are arranged. By default, the latest email is displayed first.
 
 
 
<br style="clear:both;">
 
 
 
== Number of Emails Contained in a Folder ==
 
 
 
The number of emails in the current folder is shown below the list of messages.
 
 
 
== Refreshing the View ==
 
 
 
To refresh the list of folders, click on a folder and press F5 on your keyboard.
 
 
 
Click on the folder again to refresh the list of emails.
 
 
 
== Creating, Renaming and Deleting Folders ==
 
 
 
Information about how to create, rename and delete folders is available in chapter The MailStore Folder Structure.
 
 
 
= Quick Search =
 
 
 
With MailStore's integrated quick search feature, users can browse through all emails in all user archive where they have access to. Quick search is especially suitable for simple queries. Alternatively, an Extended Search  can be used.
 
 
 
[[File:accs_quicksearch_01.png|left|300px]]
 
 
== Using Quick Search ==
 
 
 
Quick search is located in the upper left area of the application window. Simply enter one or more keywords into the search field and click on Search or press Enter. Search results are displayed in the lower left area or the window. If a keyword appears in the header or the subject line, it is highlighted.
 
 
 
== Searching for Word Fragments ==
 
 
 
To view all emails containing a particular word fragment, use the wildcard character ( * ). For example:
 
 
 
auto*
 
 
 
would locate "auto", "automatic", "automobile" and others.
 
  
== Searching for Phrases ==
+
<br style="clear: both;"/>
  
To search for words appearing consecutively and in a certain order, use quotation marks ( "" ). For example:
+
== Accessing the Archive with MailStore Web Access ==
  
"Microsoft Windows"
+
[[File:Responsive_webaccess.png|right|250px]]
  
would only locate Microsoft Windows, not Microsoft Works or Windows 95.
+
The responsive MailStore Web Access provides access to the archive using an internet browser. This has the advantage that no additional software needs to be installed on the user machines. In addition to browsing and viewing emails, web access also offers access through the folder structure and functions for restoring emails from the archive.

+
[[Accessing the Archive with MailStore Web Access|MailStore Web Access Manual]]
  
== Narrowing by Fields ==
+
<br style="clear: both;"/>
  
A search for keywords or phrases can be limited to particular fields. For example:
+
== Accessing the Archive with the Microsoft Outlook Integration ==
  
subject:News                only in Subject
+
[[File:Access outlook.png|right|250px]]
from:[email protected]      only in From
 
to:[email protected]    only in To
 
cc:[email protected]        only in Cc
 
bcc:customers@mailstore.com  only in Bcc
 
  
== Excluding Words ==
+
With a MailStore add-in, users can access the archive directly from Microsoft Outlook.
  
To narrow a search, it may be desired to specify words that must NOT be present in the emails. To exclude keywords from the search results, simply place a minus ( - ) sign in front of them. For example:
+
[[Accessing the Archive with the Microsoft Outlook integration|MailStore Outlook Add-in Manual]]
  
ZDNet -download-hint
+
<br style="clear: both;"/>
  
would locate all emails from ZDNet, but not download-hint.
+

== Combining Search Options ==
