Campus E-mail Archiving

Maintaining copies of emails is a critical function for day to day operation of the University and historical emails are often required for audits and litigation activities. At the same time, storage inside of a mailbox is limited because of current technology and budget constraints. To meet the need to save email messages while keeping our corporate email system up and operational, IT has implemented a technology to archive email messages.

The Mail Archiver automatically stores every message in databases separate from mailboxes. It is monitored and backed up regularly. Once messages are in the archive, they can be safely removed from the mailbox. You are encouraged to check their archives before deleting them from their mailboxes if you are questioning the ability of the archive to store your email messages.

Accessing the Mail Archiver Web Client

In any web browser, go to https://mailarchiver.umes.edu to access the Mail Archiver website. If you are prompted to log in, please enter your campus e-mail address in the username field (in the format username@umes.edu) and enter your normal password in the password field.

Viewing Archived Mails in Outlook

All campus computers that have Microsoft Office installed should also have the Mail Archiver Outlook Connector installed. In Outlook, it is listed under the mailbox (username@umes.edu) in the left navigation pane as “GFI MailArchiver Mailbox.” It can be navigated the same as the normal mailbox. Some things to note about the Outlook Connector:

• It does not update immediately – for immediate updates, please use the Web Client
• It only stores the previous year’s messages – for older messages, please use the Web Client
