Ensure correct configuration of SMTP settings in GFI MailArchiver (Configuration > General Settings). Incorrect configuration of SMTP settings result in MailInsights reports and other product notifications not be received.
GFI MailArchiver 2012 introduces a new concept for the management of Archive Stores, the repositories where data is archived. In order to keep large data manageable and organized, GFI MailArchiver will automatically create repositories as it deems adequate. The default behaviour is that it keeps emails organized in repositories of two months. That is, a new Archive Store is created for every two months or when an email that is being archived does not fall in the range of already created repositories. Therefore, from this release, the concepts of Archive Store Schedule queue, active Archive Store, and manual creation of Archive Stores are no longer valid. Please refer to the GFI MailArchiver Manual for more information
When testing Manual Archiving with a large number of emails, it is recommended to increase the default value (1000) of MaxQueueSize in Core2\Data\product.config. To do this, add or edit the following line in <GFI MailArchiver install path>\Core2\Data\product.config:

<add key="MaxQueueSize" value="5000"/>

This is required for BETA testing purposes only and will not be required in the release version of the product.
