remove messages from exchange store - 29.Oct.2009 1:48:22 PM

I am evaluating mailarchiver on my exchange 2007 sp1 computer. I have it setup and archiving incoming messages successfully. The real reason that I am interested in this product is to remove the hundreds of thousands of old emails from my exchange store that are slowind the whole server down.

I cannot seem to figure out a way to tell gfi to take all of the messages before a certain date on all acounts except a few and move them from exchange to the archive store.

Am I looking at this wrong?

Hi,

There are two ways MailArchiver import emails:

1. Journaling: This will retrieve a copy of any email sent or received in the mailbox. Note that only the copy in the journal is removed, therefore the original email will still end in the user's mailbox, so you will have a copy in the Exchange Store and another copy in the MailArchiver store.

2. Importing emails: This method allows you to import emails from different sources (pst, Exchange mailboxes...) into the MailArchiver stores.

The first method will archive emails received and sent after the implementation of MailArchiver (hence the creation of the journal mailbox). The second method can be used to import emails already stored in the Exchange database, or pst files, before the implementation of MailArchiver.

However please keep in mind that MailArchiver will not delete any email, in any of the two methods, this will have to be done manually or using rules once the emails have been imported into the MailArchiver database.

In order to import emails from the Exchange mailboxes into MailArchiver, please check the following link:

Hope this information helps.

Either end users delete the messages, or can use Exchange server's mailbox management policies.

My end user cannot remove archived messages. What do I need to set to correct this?
