What's new in Outlook Connector for MDaemon 2.2.5

Sep 22, 2010
  • MAJOR NEW FEATURES:
  • [5266] Add database management feature (compact database and purge message body). The Database Management feature is located in the Outlook Connector account configurations. The settings are located in the "Database Management" tab. There are two new features: Compact Database and Purge Database. Compact Database will compact and defrag the database file, LocalCache.db. If you enable "Compact database on Outlook shutdown", you will get a dialog box popup after shutting down Outlook asking you if you want to continue to compact and purge the database. If you click "Yes", compacting will take place and you will see a progress dialog box showing the compacting. The Outlook shutdown must be a clean shutdown for the compact to occur. So, if you "End Task" using the TaskManager or your Outlook crashes, compact database will not take place on Outlook shutdown. You also have the option to manually compact your database by clicking on the "Compact" button. This will only occur if Outlook is shut down. You will need to do this through the Mail Control Panel. The Purge Database feature allows you to purge/delete the message body of old messages. You will specify the age of the message by the Purge message body of messages older than _____ days (0=never)" edit box. The message will be purged base on the message modified date. Only email messages will be purged. Contacts, Calendar, Tasks, Journal, and Notes messages will not be purged. Check "Purge database on Outlook shutdown" if you wish for the message purging to take place after Outlook shutdown. You also have the option to do it manually by clicking on the "Purge" button. Outlook must be shut down for manual purging to take place. You will need to do this through the Mail Control Panel. If the message body of a message has been purged and you wish to retrieve the message body of the message again, simple click on the message or open up the message and the message body will be redownloaded. These two features are meant to help improve Outlook Connector performance. Please take advantage of the functionalities.
