For most businesses today, e-mail is the mission-critical communications tool that allows their people to produce the best results. This greater reliance on e-mail has increased the number of messages sent and received, the variety of work getting done, and even the speed of business itself. Amid this change, employee expectations have also evolved. Today, employees look for rich, efficient access—to e-mail, calendars, attachments, contacts, and more—no matter where they are or what type of device they are using.

For IT professionals, delivering a messaging system that addresses these needs must be balanced against other requirements such as security and cost. Enterprise security requirements have become more complex as the demand and use for e-mail has increased. Today, IT departments must contend with e-mail security threats that are wide ranging: continually evolving spam and viruses, noncompliance risks, the vulnerability of e-mail to interception and tampering, in addition to the potential harmful effects of natural and man-made disasters.

While security is clearly a priority, IT is ever cognizant of the need to manage cost. Time, money, and resource constraints are a fact of life as IT is made accountable to do more with less. As a result, IT professionals look for a messaging system that addresses both enterprise and employee needs while also being cost-effective to deploy and manage.

Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 has been designed specifically to meet these challenges and address the needs of the different groups who have a stake in the messaging system. The new capabilities of Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 deliver the advanced protection your company demands, the anywhere access your people want, and the operational efficiency you, in IT, need.

Aid4Mail™

Aid4Mail™ is a sophisticated but easy-to-use tool that can migrate email to a different mail client, export it for viewing through Internet Explorer®, Microsoft Excel®, and most databases, and archive it to save space or for regulatory compliance. It can merge mail into a single mailbox file, or export it as individual message or text files, and can extract attachments, embedded contents, and email addresses.

Aid4Mail supports over 30 email clients and mailbox formats including Outlook 2007, Windows Mail, and Windows Live Mail (see the Specifications page for a full list). Unlike the native import and export features of most email applications, Aid4Mail migrates mail without losing formatting, sender/recipient information, attachments, embedded contents, or message status (see the Conversion Quality page for examples). This capability is crucial to large-scale migrations. Aid4Mail can process mail folders and files even when they are disconnected from their email client, including those stored on a CD or DVD. It can filter mail by date range, header content, and in the Forensic, Enterprise, and Console versions, by message body content.
