By de-cluttering your
Exchange of old and unwanted emails it will be healthier and your backup times
and costs will be lower.
Exchange was never designed
to be a filing system, yet users retain old emails for years ‘just in case’
without any consideration of the effect that they are having on Exchange’s
performance. If emails are important and
need to be retained then why not archive them to a secure single instance email
archiving system where they cannot be deleted or amended. During the email archiving process the emails
will be deleted from Exchange. Archived
emails are still accessible via an Outlook ‘add in’ toolbar and where necessary
a copy can be returned to a Mailbox.
Mailsafe, which is approved
by HSCIC, offers a variety of different methodologies for email archiving e.g.
server side (http://www.mailsafe.co.uk/exchange-mailbox-size-management) or user side that will improve the health of your
Exchange server.
