Hi All,Is there a way that we can archive e-mails in R6(Not in each Clients Machine).What I really want to do is I want to archive all the e-mails reside on each users mail boxes, in one place.And each user should be able to retrieve e-mails at any given time by giving a keyword. Is this possible? and if so,How?
appreciate your early response.
Thanks,
Buwaneka

Check the IBM Commonstore or Legato EmailXtender, this is maybe what you are looking for.

You may want to check out ReduceMail Pro at http://reducemail.com It allows the user to search archived mail from the regular mail database. The user can also retrieve archived mail directly from the mail database without going through an archive database.

You want the archive to be IN each user’s mail file? That’s not how archiving works, you’ll have to write custom code to move documents into a folder or something.

No, I dont want to archive in each users mailbox. What I want is to archive all the e-mails of the organization in a central location in the server.

There are 3rd party products to do this efficiently and provide good search tools. Try Legato, IXOS, Documentum. The archives typically go to a separate server and storage media.

Do you specifically need to archive them (ie remove them from the users’ mailfiles) or do you just need a copy of them all stored centrally?

Actually what I want is a copyCan we do this? Can we route all the e-mails which comes in and goes out of the router mail box to a seprate mailbox. If so will that effect on the performance of the server.

Hi Buwaneka,
If you want to keep a permanent record (archive) of all mail in all mail files this is going to become a huge data store.
ie. Even mail that has been deleted by the user still resides in this central archive.
If you don’t mind deleted docs being deleted from the archive, you could use a product like Cascade (www.ns4.co.uk ?) which allows to replicate non-replica databases, and build a huge amalgamation of all mail files, although if you have more than about 20 I don’t think this will be viable.
The other way of looking at it is to make 1 archive for each mail file. That would keep the size more manageable…

If you want to do this for all new mail, have a look at Mail Journaling.
If you want to do this for existing mail, then I don’t know of any easy way (but others have answered this issue already.)

I’ve never set it up either - I just know about it.
You will find that the Administration Client Help File is very useful - it even has search features and everything. I’d suggest that you go and have a look at it.
