Journal mailbox, archiving and "Client submission probe" emails

My company does db level journaling which causes all of "Client submission probe" emails to be journaled. We use Symantec Enterprise Vault to archive all the emails as soon as they arrive in journaling mailbox. I am testing various solutions to
prevent these emails from being archived and would like to know what other people have done to address this issue. I've read a few solutions and none of them we can fully implement. 1 - we can't turn off these probe emails due to IT policy, 2 - I can't create
a "hard delete" rule as it's only a client side rule, 3 - I have created a rule to move them to Deleted item but those don't empty manually and I don't like have scheduled tasks running when it comes to mailbox management (create a PS script to autoempty
the Deleted Items after a period of time). I am considering creating a transport rule that will block those emails from ever arriving at the journaling mailbox but I am yet to test this.
How have you addressed this problem?
PS. I created a transport rule but I don't think it's able to catch messages that are placed into the journaling mailbox.

Hi Rivkis,
Thank you for your question.
We would like to know more details about “Client submission probe”.
By my understanding, you want to block journaling which send from “client submission probe”, we could compare the “client submission probe” journaling with generally email journaling, if we find any differences, then create transport rule to block it. Because
journaling has database level and mailbox level, database level can exclude the specific mailbox, but mailbox level cannot exclude the specific email for journaling. If I misunderstand, please be free to let me know.
If there are any questions regarding this issue, please be free to let me know.
Best Regard,
Jim

Journal Rules, Archiving and Distribution list

We will migrate to Exchange 2013 in the near future.
How will I migrated my journal rules, archiving and Distribution lists to Exchange 2013 from Exchange 2010?

Hi,
In addition, if you are using Exchange online archiving, it will still apply to Exchange 2013. Just ensure the archive mailbox is moved to Exchange server 2013.

Exchange 2013: Inbox rules don't work on Journal Mailbox

Hello,
I've Exchange 2013 server with 2 databases:
* First database has all user mailboxes & is journaled to second database
* Second database has only 1 mailbox: Journal which collects all messages send / received from / to first database.
I made Inbox Rules on Journal Mailbox to delete unnecessary messages e.g. :
* HealthMailbox messages with Subject: Client submission probe
* [email protected] messages with Subject: Inbound proxy probe.
I noticed that these rules don't work. Why ?
best regards Janusz Such

Hi,
How do you create these Inbox Rules on journal Mailbox? Please share the detailed rule content here and we can check whether the rule was created correctly or not.
Instead of journaling all mailboxes residing on a mailbox database, I suggest we can configure journal rules to match your organization's needs by journaling individual recipients or members of distribution groups. For more information about
journal rules, please refer to:

Mailbox and Client Access on the same servers for CAS HA (L4 LB) and Mailbox DAG

Hi, I would like to ask this question.
I'm reading all sort of documentation that I'm finding on the internet, but I can't understand if what I'm thinking to do is possible.
I would like to setup a basic environment configuring only two Exchange 2013 on two Win 2012 R2 servers. Both servers will be Mailbox (MBX) and Client Access (CAS). I will create a two-member DAG using File Share Witness or Disk Witness for the Dynamic Quorum.
Then I will setup Outlook Anywhere with internal and external namespace for CAS redundancy and layer 4 load balancing.
In this scenario I will not need to install a third part load balancer.
Am I doing right or I watching a movie?
Thanks in advance

Hi ,
You could need to have the HLB or virtual load balancers for redundancy.
Disadvantages of some load balancing methods :
If you use Windows NLB then it can provide redundancy on server level failure and not on application level.
In case if we use the windows round robin method for load balancing then it wouldn't provide server level and application level redundancy during the failures.At the Same time we need to manually adjust the DNS records during the server failure but on the
client end dns caches will create the issues.
Lets consider you are having the internal and external names for outlook anywhere like below .
internal and external outlook anywhere name :
mail.domain.com
For the above name just configure the HOST A record in windows DNS and map it to load balancer ip.Then the second step would be to configure your exchange servers in LB .So all the internal and external outlook client connectivity will happen via LB to exchange
servers.In that case if anyone of the server is down then LB will automatically make the outlook client to get connected to the server which is alive and at the same time none of the request from outlook client to LB will get forward to the server which is
in down state.
Note : Make sure you are having the redundancy for LB devices also otherwise it would be a single point of failure on the LB end .
Please reply me if anything is unclear.

Was able to successfully solve the export problem by below command by adding the contentfilter parameter all -like this gave me all mails sent to this user and received to this user perfectly.

Email account folder in /user/library/mail is much larger than full mailbox archive for the same account

Hi,
I recently changed jobs and want to archive all email (with attachments in place) for the associated work email account. I also plan to remove the old work email account (IMAP) from the list of active mailboxes in Apple Mail. I don't want Spotlight searches for personal or current work email cluttered with results from my old job.
I have created an archive of the old work account by doing Mailbox Archive for all of the IMAP folders for that account. The entire archive is 1.7GB in size.
Before I delete the old account from my Mail preferences, I want to make sure that I have really exported everything. So I've compared the size of the new archive folder with that of the mailbox folder in users/.../Library/Mail for that same account. That latter is 8.7GB in size. Why the enormous difference?
Can the difference be attributed to lack of compression and indices (which would be rebuilt if I import the archive) for spotlight searches? Am I missing something in the archive that I created?
I've created a zip of the system folder. Can I easily restore this at a latter time if I delete the email account from my Mail preferences?
Is there a better way to achieve my objective?
Mitoids

I did find a "Recovered Messages" by looking in the the Mail client under "On My Mac" (I don't normally use that feature). One message with an accicental 99MB attachment that I never sent, was recovered ~60times, consuming 5.7GB.
I deleted all of those, but the size ~/Library/Mail/xxxaccount folder did not change much. It is still much larger than the Archive I created. BTW, this is an IMAP account that was syncing with corporate GMail.

"Permanently Delete" fail in outlook client after setting up the "Archive and Retention Policy" in Exchange 2010

In Exchange 2010 server, we have setup a policy under "Default Archive and Retention Policy" as all messages under "Inbox", "Sent Items" and "Deleted Items" will be Permanently Delete after X months.
However, one of our client found that some of the email messages was still found under his "Deleted Items". All other email messages under her outlook client (2010) were successfully deleted according to the policy.
Is there any reason for this exception?
Thank you

Hi,
Based on your description, you created retention policy tags for Inbox, Sent Items and Deleted Items folders. Then you linked them to the default archive and retention policy
Default Archive and Retention Policy.
Please check if this issue affects all users.
Please create a different retention policy which is associated with these retention tags, and apply this policy to a test user to check result.

How do I delete a mailbox and still keep the emails?

I recently moved to another state and changed my ISP, so I need to delete an old mailbox that is no longer functional. I don't want to erase any of the email from that account, though, and am concerned that if I delete the account in my mail preferences I will lose those emails, although I have moved them from the inbox of the old account into other folders I created within the mail program. Any wisdom, anyone?
Thanks-
mg

Thank you for your suggestions. I've had a few bugs crop up in the process, though. My first step was to move all 659 "sent" emails from the sent box of the old account to the sent box of my current .mac account. I hit command "A" to select all of the sent emails in the sent box window, then selected "move to" from "message" in the menu bar and selected the .mac sent box as the destination. It seemed to take at least 15 minutes to complete the process, and although the sent box of the old account was empty, it appeared when I clicked on the .mac sent box that not quite all of the 659 emails had transferred, missing almost 300 sent emails.
I kept going though, and as suggested, quit Mail, and then made a copy of my user mail folder as suggested, dragging the folder to my desktop while holding down the option (alt) key. Then I reopened Mail, went to preferences, and deleted my old account. After that, I clicked through my remaining "In" mail boxes from the current accounts and the folders I had created in "On My Mac", and wierdly, it seemed every email had disappeared.
I didn't panic because I had made a copy to my desktop, so I quit Mail, and then reopened it, and it seemed everything was there, although still not all of the sent emails. Also when clicking through, Mail seemed to be functioning slowly, and the disappearing email thing happened again. I thought maybe Mail was getting confused between the mail folder in my user folder, and the copy on my desktop, so I moved the copy I had made to the trash, but didn't delete it just in case I needed it again. Then I quit Mail, went to disk utility, fixed permissions, shut down my computer, rebooted my internet cable modem and router, restarted my mac, and when I opened Mail, all my emails were there, including the emails I had moved to folders "On My Mac" from the old account. The old account was deleted, but the Sent box still seemed to be retrieving emails. When it finished, I checked the Sent box, and all of the emails I had transfered from the old account's Sent box were there. Whew.
It looks like Mail is working correctly, all the emails from my old account I wanted to keep are there in my "On My Mac" folders, and the old account is deleted. I'm not sure what happened when all the email in Mail initially disappeared right after I deleted my old account, but I'm sure there's an explanation. Copying my user mail folder before I deleted my old account did save me a panic attack, so I would highly recommend that suggestion I was given in case of problems or bugginess.
Thanks for your help!

Sorry if I wasn't as clear as I could have been. I'm trying to clean out the Journal mailbox after exporting the messages to a .PST file. I've tried formatting the date different ways and when I check it the format seems OK. For some reason I'm
still getting the same error. I've tried this which was suggested and I received the same error listed above:
Search-Mailbox -Identity JournalMailbox -TargetFolder inbox -TargetMailbox jimk -SearchQuery "Received:'${$startDate}'..'${$endDate}'" -DeleteContent -Force
For some reason the -SearchQuery is not accepting the variable.
Thanks, Jim

Archive and Install - Getting Mailboxes Back

I was forced into re-installing Tiger due to the freezing issues with Leopard. The only option I had was "Archive and Install". I could not preserve user settings (it was greyed out). What is the best way to get my stuff back. In particular Mailboxed. I do see that all my Previous Stuff was put into a "Previous Folder". How do I get my mailboxes and my saved mail back into the mail program?

I'm afraid yes... I went to Disk Utility - File - New - Disk Image from folder. And then chose the folder with my user name. It goes ahead and creates the image file - which is 56kb btw.
The weird thing is that the Previous System file is 30gb. So, there is no way that my stuff is deleted. Just don't know how to get to it.
Any ideas?

In apple mail client, is it possible to open an email sent to me, make comments on it and send the amended email back to the sender?

No. Make your comments in your reply and send that.

"The message could not be moved to the mailbox Archive" - iPhone 6

I have an iPhone 6 using the standard email app for my work (we use gmail apps), now using the latest iOS 8.1
When I try to swipe to Archive, it doesn't work and says: "Unable to Move Message. The message could not be moved to the mailbox Archive"
If I switch to 'Delete' instead of 'Archive' it deletes it, but I want to archive. It used to work, yet even before I upgraded my phone and iOS, it's started happening a month or so ago.
I used to never have this issue but it's relatively new. I've tried deleting and reinstalling my mail account and nothing works.
Help please.
Thanks

Update - I deleted/re-added my account. Same issue. Also, no my Exchange calendar won't sync. Issue appears to be on the Exchange server. I see the following errors in my iPhone log:

Queue to Journal mailbox filling up

Started yesterday morning but is getting progressively worse. The queue which sends mail to the journal mailbox seems to be processing email, just not fast enough, so the queue continues to get bigger and bigger. No changes were made yesterday. Five
servers in a DAG, all Exchange 2013 (CU4). Besides the obvious, "update to CU7 or CU8", does anyone have any thoughts?
