icistech -> 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.

how would I go about removing the messages from the store once they are archived?




Encode -> RE: remove messages from exchange store (6.Nov.2009 2:17:48 AM)

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?




Tristan Brinkman -> RE: remove messages from exchange store (16.Dec.2009 1:01:09 PM)

Dear Caddster,

You cannot delete email which is already archived into MailArchiver.
End-users should delete the email from the Exchange mailbox manually if desired.

Hi,

If you want to delete emails from your MailArchiver stores (using SQL), you can do so using scripts. Please check the following forum thread:
http://forums.gfi.com/m_900778838/mpage_1/key_delete/tm.htm#900780463

Please note that this method is using queries in SQL, as the users do not have permissions to delete or alter the messages in the Archive Store after they have been archived.

Please also be warned that the scripts in the forum link above should be used at your own risk, as GFI will not support any issue or problem caused by those scripts.

Regards,
