So, here’s what to do if you get an error message that looks like this:

1. Search for the Microsoft Outlook executable file, Outlook.exe, and make a note of the path to Outlook.exe. For example, the path might be C:Program FilesMicrosoft OfficeOffice12Outlook.exe.
2. Click Start, and then click Run.
3. In the Open box, type the complete path you noted in step 1, including the file name. Press the SPACEBAR once, and then type a forward slash mark (/) followed by the switch.
For example, if you want to use the CleanRules switch, the command you type in the Open box should look like this:
“C:Program FilesMicrosoft OfficeOffice12Outlook.exe” /Cleanrules
NOTE Paths that include spaces between words must be enclosed in quotation marks (“) and are case sensitive.
4. To run the command, click OK.

Done!

Note – You can clean client OR server or Both rules (http://office.microsoft.com/en-gb/outlook-help/command-line-switches-for-outlook-2010-HP010354956.aspx)

Well, the Legal department are afraid of lawsuits and the IT department hate full Mailboxes so all email more than a year old gets deleted as a matter of policy.The problem is that some of our projects last for several years so we need all the emails relating to those projects to enable us to do our jobs.

eFiler solves this problem very neatly.

As far the IT department is concerned eFiler helps by emptying Mailboxes and making sure no-one hits their limits.

As far as the Legal department goes eFiler is brilliant because their view is “if it looks like an email, it is an email.” In other words, data stuck in an Exchange database, an Outlook PST or OST or a dedicated email archive LOOKS like email and therefore IS email.

Save your email as msg files in the file system and, hey presto, you have turned your email into documents beyond the reach of the subpoena but still searchable and usable as if still in Outlook.

Genius.

The post When is an email not an email? appeared first on eFiler.

eRules enables you to create rules which file your emails automatically as they are sent or received by matching specific text in an email’s subject line, message body and the addresses of sender or recipients.

Any number of criteria may be added to make an eRule and you can have as many eRules as you need.

The simple and clear user interface makes creating eRules easy.

Also new in eFiler 2.6 are the Location Scanner and Policy Manager utilities made to speed up and simplify the process of creating and deploying lists of filing locations, configuration settings and eRules.

Location Scanner searches a specified drive either for folders with a specific name e.g. “Email” or containing files with specific text in their filenames e.g. “msg”. It compiles a list of the folders which match the search criteria and the user then selects which ones are to be added to the list already in use or exported to be deployed to other users.

When the selected folders are compiled into an efl (eFiler locations) file they are given tags named after the folder, its parent and grand parent.

The Policy Manager utility allows users to upload, download, replace, restore and delete efl (locations), efc (config) and efr (eRules) files for deployment across an organisational unit.

Please watch the new video of eRules being created, edited and used to see how easy it is and how much time eRules could save the average user.
