Mail Attender Automates Data-Movement to Ease Email Location Issues
Version 4.5 of Mail Attender, a highly scalable content management tool that addresses mailbox, Outlook PST file and public folder management for Microsoft Exchange users is now available. A unique feature of the latest version of Mail Attender is new Transfer Rules that allow the secure transfer of data from one email store to another without the need to directly connect the two, such as from desktop PST files to mailboxes. With enhanced Mail Attender, customers are able to tier email retention policies and automate the scheduling of common procedures such as compliance or e-discovery across multiple information stores.
Mail Attender provides Microsoft Exchange users with improved mail management and transfer functionality, which is increasingly important as organizations struggle to address challenges relating to policy enforcement, Outlook PST management, corporate email compliance and storage. The new version of Mail Attender allows customers to automate common policies. For example, say an administrator would like to keep one year of email in mailboxes and allow users two years in their PST files, to implement this before Mail Attender, administrators had to drag the items from users’ mailboxes into their PST files. With the new Transfer Rules, administrators can automatically move the older data from each person’s mailbox to their PST file without the need to ever connect the two email stores together. This approach saves time through automation and brings all information together in a single location for e-discovery and other tasks.
With Mail Attender, administrators can effectively and efficiently manage information in mailboxes, PST files on desktops/servers and public folders to address issues relating to policy enforcement, compliance and storage management. It also offers inherent statistical reporting capabilities that provide access to unlimited and comprehensive statistics on the content of your entire email system. Mail Attender is designed to be non-invasive and can be installed on any network-enabled machine. Mail Attender was honored as a finalist for the Best of Tech•Ed 2008 IT Professionals Awards for enhancements across the history of the product.
Copying messages from one email store to another is nothing new; most email administrators know how to copy data from a mailbox to a PST file and/or back again. How Mail Attender 4.5 is different is that it can offer a safe scheduled or ad-hoc transfer of data from one email store to another, even if it resides in different locations or even different networks. Unlike other migrations tools, the transfer is not just one way. Administrators can put data back as easily as they can take it out. The Administrator also has at their disposal the full breadth of Mail Attender rule conditions to identify specific data to be transferred. Mail Attender is unique in that it is not a one size fits all approach to corporate and compliance policy enforcement. Mail Attender provides a policy enforcement engine at a reasonable price point that allows a company to craft and enforce its retention policies in a customized way.
