Use this feature to archive all inbound or outbound messages to a folder. The default location for this folder is C:\MDaemon\Archives\Email\, but you can set it to any folder you choose. You can choose to archive inbound messages that are to your local users, outbound messages from your local users, or both. Mailing list messages, messages being relayed, and those with a virus will not be archived. Inbound and outbound messages will be stored in \In\ and \Out\ subfolders, respectively. They can be further subdivided by using the ...archive based on recipient address and ...archive based on sender address options below. Also, separate archives can be maintained for each domain by using the Provide separate archives for each MDaemon domain option.

Archived messages are saved in the final state in which they appear in the local user's mail folder, or in the "ready to be delivered" state for outbound messages. This means that if you, for example, have the content filter make some change to a message, such as adding a header to it, then the archived message will contain that change.

To browse the archive folder use one of your mail accounts (or create a new one) and point its Mail Folder to the same folder used for the archive. If multiple people need access to the archive then log in to the archive account and share the desired folders using its Access Control List.
