How can I make the settings for archiving and what options are available?

In the settings for your archive, you can define whether and after how many days archived messages can expire and which part of a message you want to index.

1

Log in to the Admin-Panel as administrator. Instructions for logging into the panel can be found in our FAQ article "How can I log in to the Admin-Panel (web interface of the filter)?".

2

Click in "Archiving" > "Settings". If you want to remove the archived messages after a certain period of time, you can activate the option "Expire messages". You can then specify the number of days you want to keep the messages in your archive. If you want to archive the messages indefinitely, leave the checkbox unconfirmed.

The maximum number of days that can be entered in this field is 10000.

In the settings below you can define the indexing settings, i.e. tell EuropeanMX which parts of a message should be made searchable.

Enabling all indexing options can have an impact on performance.

Message Header
Searches for text in the name or value of the header of the message in question. For example, if you are searching for messages that have an X-Campaign header or have a specific name in the CC header.
HTML
Searches the HTML version of the message. Many senders send their messages in both HTML and text-only versions. We recommend leaving this option active so that messages in HTML format can also be searched.
Text
Searches the clear version of the message (text-only). Since some senders send the message without HTML or the text cannot be extracted from the HTML version, you should always leave this option active.
Images (via OCR)
Searches the image for contained text. Images received by email are searched by EuropeanMX for contained text using OCR and the found text is added to the index.
Attachments / Documents (.doc)
Searches a Word document (Microsoft Word 2003 and earlier) for text and adds it to the index.
Attachments / Documents (.docx)
Searches a Word document (Microsoft Word 2007 and earlier) for text and adds it to the index.
Attachments / Documents (.pdf)
Searches an unencrypted pdf document for text, which is added to the index along with some metadata (e.g. author and subject). However, images are not processed with OCR.
