Release: MailVault v4.1.0

MailVault v4.1.0 is available.

This significant release features a revamped user-interface with improved usability and actions.

The UI has been made responsive across various screen sizes, so you can access MailVault from various devices – your desktop, laptop and tablet – all with a clean and convenient user-experience.

Additionally, the core libraries have been updated for better performance, and some minor fixes and enhancements have also been done.

Note:

  • This release uses Java 7. While Windows users will automatically receive the Java update, Linux users will need to ensure that Java 7 is installed before the upgrade can succeed. Don’t worry, MailVault will detect this, inform you and not allow the upgrade to proceed.
  • All users may need to clear their browser cache.

You can upgrade your MailVault installation by going to:

Settings > Core > Auto updates and click on Check for updates

Then simply follow the on-screen instructions.

This significant release features the new Archive manager, which contains powerful features, with convenient usability.

The Archive manager allows for:

The old Plug’n’play functionality is no longer required and has been removed. After logging into MailVault, the Archive manager is available at the following location: Settings > Archive > Archive manager

Release: MailVault v4.0.0

MailVault v4.0.0 is available.

This is a major release with new features, improvements in security and search, usability enhancements and many minor fixes.

The new stuff includes:

  • Users can access their archived email from within their email clients, via MailVault’s new IMAP server. A small email restore, is now as simple as, copy-paste or drag-drop, from one email folder to another.
  • MailVault now offers SSL support, using auto-created, self-signed certificates for all network connections. This means convenient security, at zero cost.
  • Starting with v4, the index format has been changed. This will allow for even more granular search, as well as improve search performance.
  • MailVault alerts now include estimates about when the available disk space will be used up, and how many more messages it will be able to accommodate. Although the estimates are approximate, we expect them to be very useful for the administrator.

A couple of important points to take note of:

  • The new index format will cause a new archive to be automatically created and activated. The current archive will be accessible via Plug’n’Play. While this is a minor inconvenience, the benefits will be worth it.
  • Using IMAP on MailVault could consume additionally memory. So if your MailVault system is low on RAM, we recommend you use the regular web-interface, or restrict the number of users allowed to use IMAP.

Lastly, the changes we have made, also set the foundation for other improvements expected over the coming weeks. Stay tuned. As usual, we’d love your feedback.

Back up old, scattered Email into MailVault

When setting up email archiving for an organization, the recommended practice is to configure the mailserver to keep a copy of all email flowing through it into an “archive” account. MailVault picks up all the email from this account by using say, the POP3 protocol and does it’s archiving magic, after which the mail is deleted from the archive or journal account. As an ongoing process, this is a great setup since the settings are required to be just once, centrally and without any end-user changes.

However, we often hear questions like:

  • What can do I do about old email?
  • What can I do about the email of many years in my mail client?
  • Can I do anything about the old PST back-ups I have lying around?

How do I backup ALL my old email into MailVault?

To address this we present to you the MailVault Agent!

The MailVault Agent (MVA) is a little application that can transfer email from an email client into MailVault. The end-user installs the MVA on his or her computer, points it to the email client and specifies the folders from which the email needs to be transferred to MailVault.

If all goes well, the end result is that all the old email of all your users will be safely backed up into MailVault.With all the benefits of deduplication, compression and a highly searchable central storage.

After this one-shot import, you may uninstall the MailVault agent from the end users computers and continue with your mailserver based email archiving. On the other hand, if you don’t run a mail server in-house or can’t setup an email archival (journaling) account on your mailserver, you could continue to use the MVA to back up all users email into MailVault.

Currently, the MailVault Agent is available for MS Windows  only. It supports relatively recent versions of Microsoft Outlook, Outlook Express, Thunderbird and Windows Live Mail.

The MailVault Agent is available for download from the download section. Enjoy!:)
