Mailbox Archiving
Exchange
Hexamail Server can automatically archive all email from Exchange including inbound, outbound and internal email.
Exchange 5.5: this is not possible
Exchange 2000-2003: this is done using a feature in Exchange known as 'journaling'.
Exchange can be made to copy every email sent or received to a nominated mailbox.
Hexamail Server then automatically periodically retrieves email from this mailbox and archives them into the Hexamail Server compressed and indexed archive. At the same time it REMOVES them from the journaling account, in order that the account
does not grow without bound. The first step is to create an account in Exchange to use for journaling. This should be done in the normal way and called for example 'journal' with the email address/mailbox
journal@yourdomain.com. Once created, browse for and select the journal account for the Journal Mailbox in Hexamail. Hexamail Server will automatically set up journaling in Exchange for you using this mailbox when you press the 'Enable Journaling'
button in Hexamail.
Exchange 2007, 2010, 2013 onwards this is done using mailbox extraction to PST as an intermediate step and those PSTs are then indexed and removed.
Exchange 2010, 2013: Due to limitations set by Microsoft a UNC share that is writable by Exchange and readable by Hexamail must be available for the processing of PST data.
