MailXmaster allows you create your own Groups, Sections & Tasks and then name them using your own chosen terminology e.g. ‘Projects’, ‘Customers' ‘Departments’ etc.
 
At present you can create up to 675 Groups; each Group can contain up to 100 Sections and each Section can contain an almost infinite number of Tasks.

Question 10

How do I file an Email?

Accepted Answer

Every Task has a unique email address. To file an email simply add the relevant Task email address(es) to the cc list of the email you are sending.
 
Alternatively, you can file received messages by forwarding them to the relevant Task.
 
You can also use email 'Rules' to automatically forward emails to their relevant Task. Some email programs allow rules to be run on emails already in your inbox making this an effective way of importing historical data into MailXmaster.

Question 11

What would happen to my emails in a Disaster Recovery Scenario?

Accepted Answer

All the data in MailXmaster will be unaffected by a catastrophic data loss within your IT system. You will still have access to your data as long as you have an internet connection.
 
The data within MailXmaster is 'mirrored' to ensure continuous access in the unlikely event of a failure within an AWS data centre.

Question 12

Can I file an Email in more than one place?

Accepted Answer

Yes! Because there are times when an Email is relevant to more than one topic MailXmaster allows you to file it in as many different Tasks as you like by simply adding the relevant Task addresses to your cc list.

Question 13

Can I file Emails from my phone?

Accepted Answer

Yes! MailXmaster works with any email program so you can file from any device.

Question 14

How do I access the Information stored in MailXmaster?

Accepted Answer

Your MailXmaster system is accessed via your device's browser. Simply log in using your Username & Password and, depending on your access privileges, you will be able to access all the information filed there.

Question 15

Who can see the Emails I file?

Accepted Answer

Any email you file to MailXmaster can been seen by any MailXmaster user within your organization who has access to the Section in which the email is filed.
 
MailXmaster has a system of access privileges which can be used to restrict what information individual users are able to view. Users with the highest level of access can see all emails in all Sections. Users with a lower access level can only see emails in the Sections to which they have been granted access.

Question 16

How will I know if I am running out of Storage Capacity?

Accepted Answer

Storage capacity within MailXmaster is shared across all users rather than allocated to individuals. Your plan's current data usage is displayed in the footer of your MailXmaster home screen. Full details about your plan's capacity etc can be viewed in the "Account" drop down menu.
 
Your system administrator(s) will receive an email notification when you reach 75% capacity and another when you reach 90% giving you plenty of time to order additional data. 
 
Additional data is available in blocks of 10, 25 or 50GB depending on your Pricing Plan - contact us for details of additional data charges.

Question 17

How do I grant a New User access to my Emails?

Accepted Answer

A low level user can only access emails in Sections where their name is in the Section Address Book. The easiest way to add a user to a Section Address Book is to send them an email which is "copied" to a Task within that Section.

Question 18

How will I know when there is new data in MailXmaster?

Accepted Answer

MailXmaster includes a powerful reporting tool which enables you to schedule automated searches for activity which you are interested in and then email you and your team the results.
 
For example, MailXmaster could send a report every Monday morning detailing all emails relating to a specific project that were filed in the previous week.

Question 19

How do I find an Email in MailXmaster?

Accepted Answer

If you know which Section the email is filed in you can search that Section directly using the 'Fliter Section Email' facility. This will allow you to search a specific Section by any combination of Sender, Recipient, Subject, keyword and date range.
 
If you are unsure where the email might be you can use a 'Manual Email Search Report' to search all Sections to which you have access.
