Archiving Emails

After creating a MailStore user, you can start archiving emails for that user. In the following example, emails are archived from the local Outlook application. No changes are made to Outlook or the emails contained therein.

Important notice: This section describes how to archive emails from the local Microsoft Outlook application as an example. Detailed information about other archiving options is available in chapters Archiving Emails and MailStore and Microsoft Exchange.

• Click on Archive Email.
• From the list on the upper right, select Microsoft Outlook as source.

• Keep the default settings and click on Next.

• If desired, you can choose further archiving settings in the following window. For now, keep the default settings and click on Next.

• If you are logged on to MailStore Server as administrator, you will be prompted for the target archive in which the emails are to be stored. If you are logged on as user, the archive of the respective user is selected automatically.

• Finally, you can specify a name (e.g. "Microsoft Outlook Test") under which MailStore will save your archiving task. Click on Finish to start the archiving process.

• After the archiving process is finished, a protocol appears. If it does not contain any error messages, the process was successful.

The new archiving profile is now listed under Saved Settings (Profiles) and from here can be run as often as desired. MailStore only archives those emails not yet stored in the archive.
