"I liked MailStore Server. I liked it a lot. I felt it was incredibly easy-to-use, extremely flexible, reasonably priced and well supported."

"Whether you use online mail services such as Hotmail or desktop clients such as Outlook, make sure you never lose an important message again. With most backups, we typically only remember to take them once disaster has already struck. With the move to online mail services, email backup often isn’t even considered at all. We trust other people to keep everything safe on our behalf, but every now and again, things go wrong. A site’s drives might crash or be hacked. You might lose your account. You might simply want to change your mail provider, but have no easy way to port your existing archives across. MailStore handles all this and more, supporting almost every major email service either directly or by connecting to your account via POP3 and IMAP. It also works with desktop clients including Office Outlook, Exchange, Thunderbird and more."

"E-mail isn’t going away anytime soon. With the expanding set of regulatory requirements for e-mail archiving and the litigious society in which we live, we need easily accessible e-mail archives. Many organizations have a centralized e-mail server and repository, but many do not. [...] If you’re looking for a simple, multi-client e-mail archiving and backup solution for your e-mail, have a look at MailStore Server."
Microsoft TechNet Magazine
"MailStore Home imports messages from multiple mail systems and software programs, stores them in a central location on your hard disk, and lets you search through everything simultaneously. The search is exceedingly fast and quite sophisticated"

"Deepinvent MailStore is a software-only product designed for small and mid-sized businesses. With no separate database server, installation is simple. MailStore supports a wide variety of mail servers in addition to Exchange, and can also work directly with e-mail clients such as Outlook, Outlook Express, Windows Mail or Thunderbird, if clients are accessing a hosted e-mail server off-site. It can also archive data from PST files or other e-mail stores such as MBOX or EML files. The system can also archive files stored on a Windows PC or server. An Outlook plug-in makes retrieving archived messages easier. [...] Performance on searches was good. And MailStore supports migration of mail from one version of Exchange to another, or from one e-mail client to another. MailStore does not include the more sophisticated features such as role-based administration, policy enforcement or legal holds. However, with low prices, a very simple installation and excellent ease of use, it is a good fit for small businesses in which the time to learn a more complex system is not available and basic archiving is all that is desired."

"Conclusion: MailStore 4 wins over users with its large range of functions. Especially appealing are the various import features, the flexible configurability, and the option to consolidate completely different mail accounts in the archive for each user. Nearly all tested functions work flawlessly; only a Lotus-Domino server is able to preempt MailStore’s IMAP import."
