contentACCESS Email Archive may archive the emails either from Exchange 2010 or Exchange 2013 or higher. The exact Exchange version that is used is configured on the Email Archive’s System settings page, under section EWS settings. The items archived and replaced with shortcuts can be accessed both from MS Outlook desktop version and OWA if the right extensions (OWA 2010 integration for OWA 2010 and Mail app for OWA 2013 or higher or MS Outlook desktop version 2013 or higher) are installed. Items archived with Metalogix Archive Manager Exchange Edition (MAM EE) and Email Lifecycle Manager (ELM) can be retrieved as well. To retrieve MAM EE and ELM shortcuts the given legacy retrieve service must be also installed and configured in contentACCESS. (Read more in Legacy email archive connectors.)
OWA 2010 integration and Mail app can be installed on the User experience page of the Central Administration. Open the User experience page with navigating to Email Archive ⇒ Settings ⇒ User experience on the ribbon.
a. Exchange 2013/2016 – If this version is used, you may use Mail app with OWA 2013 or higher and MS Outlook desktop version (2013 or higher) directly. This ensures manual archive of mailbox items/manual restore of shortcuts directly from the mailbox. Emails and attachments archived with MAM EE and ELM can be opened from the legacy shortcuts as well if the legacy retrieve service is installed and configured. (Read more in Legacy email archive connectors.)
b. Exchange 2010 – If this version is used, you may integrate contentACCESS with OWA 2010, and allow transparent opening of the shortcuts in OWA. The extension ensures manual archive of mailbox items/manual restore of contentACCESS shortcuts directly from the mailbox. Emails and attachments archived with MAM EE and ELM can be opened from the legacy shortcuts as well if the legacy retrieve service is installed and configured.
