Архива v3.5 (and higher) can be configured to synchronize folder structures associated with all mailboxes in an MS Exchange 2007/2010/2013 environment. When logged in as an auditor, the folder view displays all mailboxes available in MS Exchange. The filter at the bottom left corner of the screen, conveniently enables one to filter out the desired mailboxes.
Архива keeps a track of folder state changes over time. The date field at the top left corner of the screen, enables one to select a view time. For example, selecting a view time of 31 May, 2013, will present a folder structure as it existed at that sync time. This feature enables one to magically step back into history of any mailbox in MS Exchange.
Exchange Synchronization
To enable Exchange folder sync in Архива v3.5 (and higher):
- Follow the steps in Logins to setup Active Directory authentication
- Follow the steps in Exchange Impersonation to setup an impersonation account
- Create and enable an Exchange client connection in Connections
- Enable tree view by selecting "When Data Available" in Show Tree View field (accessible from Configuration->Search)
Once these steps are performed, Архива should periodically synchronize folders with MS Exchange.
As an added bonus, when syncing with MS Exchange, Архива will automatically archive all contact (vCard) and calendar (iCal) information.
Folder View Permissions
Архива uses the view filter of the logged in user's role to determine which mailboxes and folders should be displayed. For example, an end-user assigned the User Role with the view filter %email%, will only be able to see the folders that pertain to them. An auditor assigned the Auditor role with the view filter empty, will be able to see all folders corresponding with all mailboxes.
To disable the folder view all together, in Configuration->Search, select Show Tree View drop down dialog to suit your preference.
Exchange Import
When importing emails using the direct Exchange import method, Exchange folder, calendar and contact information is also imported.
PST Folder Import
When importing PST data in Configuration->Import Data, Архива will import the folder structure of the PST automatically.
