7.3 Managing the Mail Servers to Archive
Within GFI MailArchiver, the mail servers to archive are defined by the configured journal mailboxes.
A Journal mailbox is a type of mailbox within Microsoft
®
Exchange Server that enables the recording
of emails in an organization. The difference between journaling and archiving is that, by definition,
journaling is the ability to record emails while archival reduces the strain of storing data through
backups, removal, and storage. GFI MailArchiver uses Microsoft Exchange journaling to centralize all
the emails to archive in a single mailbox. An initial Journal mailbox is configured using the GFI
MailArchiver post-install wizard. This enables you to start archiving emails from a Microsoft
®
Exchange Server.

IMPORTANT
For journaled emails to be archived within GFI MailArchiver, the archiving method Auto-
Archiving (Journaling) must be enabled. For more information, refer to Configuring
Archiving Method (page 98).
NOTE
GFI MailArchiver will create the Journal Mailbox for you within Microsoft
®
Exchange
Server using the GFI MailArchiver post install wizard. For more information, refer to
