Configuring Cloud Services

A journaling address is a Globally Unique Identifier (GUID) that is dedicated to your server. GFI OneConnect allows the creation of a journaling address that can be linked to an Office 365 account.
Cloud user’s journaling address ensures that a copy of every email sent or receive by that account is forwarded to the GFI OneConnect Data CenterA remote location on a GFI OneConnect Server through which the email traffic is santized and then routed to the Exchange Server. It is also used for queuing emails during outage and for storing archives and synchronized calender and contact information..
