Archiving emails using GFI Archiver
Learn how to integrate Kerio Connect and GFI Archiver, so that emails processed by Kerio Connect are automatically archived by GFI Archiver.
GFI Archiver connects to the archive mailbox in Kerio Connect and downloads all the inbound and outbound emails from it. The emails in the archive mailbox get deleted automatically once downloaded by GFI Archiver. This way, you never lose emails, and searching emails becomes fast and easy.
Step 1: Enable Archiving in Kerio Connect
- Log in to Kerio Connect administration interface and create a new mailbox dedicated for archiving. For more information refer to Creating user accounts in Kerio Connect.
- Go to Configuration > Archiving and Backup > Archiving and under Email Archiving, check Enable email archiving option.
- Check Archive to the remote email address option and enter the email address of the journal mailbox created previously.
- Check or uncheck the different email-types for archiving and click Apply to save settings.
Step 2: Connect GFI Archiver to the Kerio Connect archive mailbox
