STOREFolder Mail Archive is an administrator driven solution designed to selectively move or copy messages from Exchange mailboxes, PS files and public folders to any storage device visible to the application via the network. Management is executed through an application interface that can be used to setup the schedule, search the indexed archives and view reports. Our service assists companies with storage and compliance requirements while offering a flexible archiving architecture that does not require proprietary hardware or a SQL database.

STOREFolder Mail Archive is intended for use with Microsoft Exchange. The computer performing the email archiving process must meet the following requirements:

• Windows 2000, XP Professional, Vista, Windows 7, Server 2003, Server 2008 (or better)
• .NET Framework v2.0 (will be installed automatically if not yet installed)
• Microsoft Internet Information Server 5.0 (or better)
• Exchange 5.5, 2000, 2003, 2007 (or better)
• Outlook 2000 (or better; only needed if not installed onto the Exchange server)
• 40MB for the program files and log files
• Local disk storage for the archive data (any accessible directory, including network shares, is supported)

Exchange end-users who need to access archive content for their Exchange mailboxes from within Outlook should be using Outlook 2000 or better (other Exchange-compatible email clients should also be compatible). Note that an extra plugin installation on each Exchange client computer is not required.

Outlook Web Access is also supported.
