searching email – MailVault

April 10, 2020

MailVault v4.3.10 is available.

We’ve introduced a few charts in this release.

The timeline chart plots your search results over a time line – by date if the results span multiple days…

…and by time if the results are on the same day.

The charts support simple user interactions – you can hover over the points of interest to see more details in a tool tip, or click a specific legend label at the top to hide it’s data from the chart – simply click once more to show it’s data again.

We’ve also added a few charts into the Reports section. We hope you find them useful.

A few other minor fixes and enhancements have found their way into this release.

You can manually upgrade your MailVault installation by going to:

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

Then simply follow the on-screen instructions.

MailVault Views. Your email, organized your way.

MailVault v4.3.8 is available.

MailVault’s powerful search let’s you find the email you are searching for, fast! And Saved searches allow the user to re-run complex queries, on demand, with a single click.

And still, some of our users want the familiarity of being able to organize their email into good, old folders. We hear you. And we’ll give you folders. And more.

Introducing Views!

MailVault Views are smart, dynamic and alive. They are time-saving mechanisms, designed to let you get more done in less time. Views currently contain folders and saved searches, with more to come.

Folders consist of system folders (by default All, Inbox, Sent) with the possibility for users to create and manage their own custom folders. Similarly, users can create and save searches for easy and regular access. Both folders and searches return dynamic and updated results.

This release also adds a set of convenience filters on the Search results page (All mail, Incoming, Outgoing) which can be applied to any result set. Arrow icons along each result line indicate incoming or outgoing mail.

The G Suite and G Suite Turbo mail sources now support delete mail after x days functionality.

Other minor fixes and enhancements round off this release.

You can manually upgrade your MailVault installation by going to:

Core updates, simpler Active Directory, Password policies and more…

MailVault v4.2.40 is available.

This release contains:

Core packages and libraries updated
Active Directory & LDAP usage simplified (for user import and authentication)
Password policy functionality added
Optional size limits for indexing message body and attachment data
JVM configuration via the Settings UI
Cloud storage enhancements
Faster startup after an abrupt shutdown
Minor fixes and enhancements

The latest release has updates to it’s core packages and libraries (downloaded automatically via an intermediate update v4.2.38).

Active Directory and LDAP usage functionality has been simplified dramatically making it much easier for administrators to integrate MailVault with their company authentication and directory services.

Those of you who needed to explicitly layout a password policy, can now do so.

Mail volume and mail sizes continue to increase. Large attachments not only increase data transfer, but also use up indexing compute power (and increase index sizes). Often indexing the entire attachment is not necessary. Admins can now set a limit (if required) on the amount of data MailVault should index from mail attachments.

Sometimes we may need to change the Java Virtual Machine’s (JVM) default memory settings – this can now be done conveniently from the Settings UI itself.

MailVault tries to automatically recover from errors that may occur. Abrupt (non-graceful) shutdowns may leave the indexes in an inconsistent state. If the index size is large, the recovery process takes time, thus slowing down the MailVault startup – this has now been refactored to allow for a much faster startup after an abrupt shutdown, thus letting you get to work at the earliest.

You can manually upgrade your MailVault installation by going to:

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

Release: MailVault v4.1.11 (Mail source monitoring, restore search results via POP3)

MailVault v4.1.11 is available.

This release contains:

Mail source monitoring and alerting
Restore any search result set via POP3
Enhanced audit reports
Other minor fixes and enhancements

Mail sources now have a “monitor this source” option. When enabled, MailVault can monitor these email sources and alert you of email collection problems, which could be because of network issues, authentication problems or simply configuration errors at your mail server. Mail source monitoring alerts can be enabled from Settings > Alerts.

In addition to the numerous flexible methods of retrieving and restoring email from within MailVault, this release adds yet another super-convenient option for power users. Run and refine your search, select the messages from the result set and choose to “Restore via POP3″. This is especially useful for large result sets, where you may not want to saturate your mail server by forwarding all that email over SMTP.
