Mail Attender Improves Email Management and Transfer Processes, Addresses Outlook PST Management, Corporate Email Compliance and Storage.

Mail Attender Version 4.5 is sporting a new look, similar to its sister product Archive Attender, and has several new features. Chief amongst these is a new rule type: Transfer Rules. Transfer Rules allow you to move data from an e-mail store being managed by Mail Attender to another managed e-mail store regardless of where they are in relation to each other.

For example, to move e-mail from one PST file on one server to a PST file on another server, both files would have to be connected directly. The new Transfer Rules allow someone to first, selectively identify the messages to be transferred; and second, export and transmit these messages, through one or more MAE installations; and import the messages into the destination e-mail store.
















How does it work? Transfer destination targets are assigned for each e-mail store needing to be processed with these new Transfer Rules. There will be a new tab on the properties pages for each e-mail store to view and edit the list of destination targets.



















There can be as many destination Targets as needed, but each must have a unique name. In the example above, the file FriarTuck.pst has a Target called "Buddy" of RobinHood.pst. Targets can also be assigned in mass by importing a list, similar to the "Owners Template" feature.

Once the destination Targets are configured, the Transfer Rule can be created. The main visual difference between a Transfer Rule and a Standard Rule is the "Destination" tab instead of an "Actions" tab.




















On this tab, the destination Target is chosen by name. For each e-mail store the Transfer Rule processes, the corresponding e-mail store is targeted. When a message qualifies (depending on the condition added), the message is exported and transmitted, or "Transferred" from that e-mail store to the corresponding Target e-mail store.

Other options include defining the Target folder of the destination and what to do with the original message once the transfer is successful.

This new feature promises to provide yet another tool in your arsenal for managing e-mail content. Now your options are no longer limited to exporting, deleting, forwarding and so on, but will now include the ability to move specific messages from one e-mail store to another by simply configuring and running MAE Transfer Rules.
