20.1 Introduction

You can use mail archiving to archive mail messages (Emails). You have to perform the following steps in order to do this:

Mail server with IMAP log (including SSL support).
Mail archiving must be activated in the system menu (see 20 for more information).
Mail archiving must be set up in WebAdmin for each database.
Manual or automatic mail archiving must be completed.

This chapter only discusses the third point,that is, setting up individual mail folders that are to be archived in a database.

Before going into the individual settings options, it is necessary to point out that the following events occur during mail archiving:

A mail message is picked up by the server.
The mail message is analysed.
The message itself is archived with the option of archiving all PDF files and images it contains.
An Archivista file is created for each mail message. The 'Subject', 'From', 'To' and 'Cc' fields as well as the date can be indexed automatically.
The message itself is zipped and is also saved.
