Sherpa Software Delivers Innovations In Microsoft Exchange Support

PITTSBURGH, June 20, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Pittsburgh-based Sherpa Software has announced availability of Mail Attender v5.0, a comprehensive tool for Microsoft Exchange email management. Sherpa's new product offers full Exchange 2013 and Office 365 support.

Experts suggest that migration to Exchange 2013 is an ideal opportunity to establish policies governing email retention.  A product such as Mail Attender v5.0 is a powerful policy enforcement tool and can be a critical component of any information governance strategy.

According to Sherpa Software's Director of Exchange Solutions, Srinivasan Balaji, one of the most essential benefits of the new program is the ability to facilitate migration to Exchange 2013 or Office 365.  "Our new version of Mail Attender responds to the expressed needs of our clients who are using Exchange and need to prepare files for migration based on age, size, content and a variety of other criteria," said Balaji.

"Since Mail Attender treats users' mailbox and online archive as separate stores, it creates the ability to apply rules before things get out of control," said Balaji.  "For instance, if you want to establish a two-year retention policy for an inbox, but want an online archive Inbox to have a five-year retention policy, Mail Attender can easily achieve these tasks."

Other significant improvements to Mail Attender v5.0 include 64-bit support and the fact that Mail Attender v5.0 makes it possible to administer Office 365 mail stores.  "If you have made the decision to move your mail to the cloud or are thinking about it, you will be able to use Mail Attender to migrate and also manage data efficiently moving forward," said Balaji.
