Log on to MailStore Client as MailStore administrator. Click on Administrative Tools > Storage and then on Storage Locations.
The storage location of the master database can only be viewed here. Clicking on Change... closes MailStore Client and starts the MailStore Server Service Configuration.
MailStore distinguishes between two types of archive stores: standard archive store and advanced archive store.
Standard archive stores are stored entirely in an adjustable directory of the file system. Advanced archive stores offer additional options such as storage in SQL databases, but have limited functionality elsewhere. Information about advanced archive stores is available in chapter Using Advanced Archive Stores.
For most environments, using standard archive stores is recommended.
To create a new standard archive store, please proceed as follows:
Remove the checkmark from the box titled Archive new messages here if you don’t want MailStore to archive new emails in the new archive store.
The destination folder is created automatically. If it already exists, it may not contain any files or subfolders.
By default, MailStore Server creates a new standard archive store for every 500,000 emails and archives new emails therein. To change this setting (in order to create a new standard archive store quarterly, for example), please proceed as follows:
You can find additional important information in the article Choosing the Right Storage Strategy.
Creating a new advanced archive store is described in chapter Using Using Advanced Archive Stores.
Right-click on an archive store and select Archive here.
Right-click on an archive store in the list and select Read-only.
After the archive store has been write-protected, the emails contained in the archive store remain available to all MailStore users and can be located though a search and through the folder structure. However, neither can new emails be archived in the archive store, nor can any emails be deleted from it. Please note that file system write access to the directory of the archive store is still required.
Read-only archive stores are marked with a lock symbol.
Write protect for a selected archive store can be deactivated by setting its status to Normal or Archive here.
Deactivating an archive store allows you to make changes to its configuration. This may become necessary after Moving the Archive, for example.
While an archive store is deactivated, the emails contained therein are not available to the archive.
To deactivate an archive store, right-click on it and select Deactivated.
Existing archive stores can be detached from the archive. To do so, right-click on an archive store in the list and select Detach. The detached archive store and the emails contained therein are no longer available to the archive. This feature can be used when taking old parts of the archive out of storage, for example.
A detached archive store can be reattached to the archive at any time using the Attach... button and is then fully available again.
All available maintenance commands can be accessed by right-clicking on an archive store. Alternatively, you can highlight an archive store and click on the Maintenance button. You can choose from the following features:
Optimizing the data structures while compacting the data.
Verification of the data integrity between "Folder Information and Meta Data" as well as "Email Headers and Contents".
Service all Firebird embedded databases in standard or extended archive stores of type Directory (File System).
If there are any doubts about the shown statistics (number of emails per archive store), these statistics for all archive stores can be recalculated with this command.
