Archiving those important emails just got easier

I have spent the last two weeks downloading, uploading, re-downloading, and re-uploading thousands of archive emails to and from two different mail servers in a futile attempt to keep four years worth of corporate email in searchable archive using Gmail. Since we (Sentias) decided not to continue managing our own Linux/Qmail corporate email server and to use Gmail instead, we have been struggling with the issue of how we move over 6 GB of stored emails to Gmail. I’m sure I am not the only person who has had to deal with this, which is why I decided to share an excellent application that has made my life so much easier. The application is called MailStore and it is developed by a company called deepINVENT based in Germany.
In their own words…
deepinvent Software GmbH is a dynamically growing German IT company, specialized in the development and sales of e-mail archiving solutions. The company is run by its owners, who can take advantage of the counsel from an experienced advisory board consisting of top management experts from international corporations.
MailStore allows you to download a local copy of your entire mailbox and gives you the tools to burn the archive to CD/DVD or to export it in a standard format to another mail service. The features include:
- Archive and consolidate all email messages centrally, securely and permanently
- Search all your email within fractions of a second (incl. the contents of attached documents)
- Integrated CD/DVD burning utility to backup your archives with just one click
- To conserve disk space, MailStore Home saves only a single instance of each attachment and applies a smart compression algorithm
- Preview archived messages directly in MailStore and reopen them in your local mail client (e.g. Microsoft Outlook)
- In addition to backing up the entire archive, your messages can be exported to a variety of destinations
- Messages are stored MIME-compatible, and can be recovered at any time without information loss (e.g. to import them in other applications)
MailStore also provides a business tool called MailStore Server which allows organizations to download and archive corporate email without the need for intervention from users. MailStore server can act as a proxy that stores copies of incoming and outgoing messages in the archive. The cost of this software is $599.
