Mimosa Archiving
 
Webmail

 

 

  The Mimosa Archive system is a comprehensive software solution for Microsoft Exchange that unifies email recovery, archiving and storage optimization.  

You will see a folder in your folder list called Mimosa Archive.

How Mimosa works - Every email that comes into your email account, or email that is sent from you, will be stored in Mimosa. This takes the place of all prior archiving methods. No further setup is required on your part.

Messages will be stored for a period of two years (per our email retention policy).

What you can expect - Messages will stay in your regular inbox for 4 weeks. Calendar items will stay on your regular calendar for 6 months. After that timeframe, look in the Mimosa folder for items.

Important Setting in Mimosa - Please check settings in your Mimosa folder to ensure certain items are defaulted which will include better information on searches.
* Open Mimosa and click Tools
* Go to Options - User Preferences
* Make sure there are checkmarks in "Include Deleted Items by default" and "include history items by default."

Mimosa Tutorials - It will be helpful to view the reference guides below to understand how to use this system.
