Outlook True Achive

SMSware are delighted to release Outlook True Archive; the ultimate archive tool for Microsoft Outlook PST files.

You may have discovered that Microsoft Outlook selects messages for archiving in an unusual way. Outlook determines the message age from the Sent date/time, the Received date/time, or from the message's "Last Modified" date/time, whichever is later. The following actions will change a message's "Last Modified" date/time:

  • Forwarding
  • Replying
  • Replying to All
  • Editing and Saving
  • Moving or Copying (depending on the destination)
This means that you reliably archive mail based on its sent or received date. Outlook True Archive is designed to workaround this "feature" of Outlook. Outlook True Archive's features include:

  • Select items by date received, date sent or date last modified.
  • Move / Copy / Delete matching items to the destination.
  • Preserves all message time stamps in destination.
  • Select source and destination for moving mail out of or back into your main PST file.
  • Choose to ignore or respect the "No Archive" flag.
  • Preview mode allows you to see totals before performing an archive.
  • Set the archive task priority to Normal, Medium or High.
  • Export messages to a disk folder in MSG format. Your folder structure is replicated.
  • Choose to arhive Unopened messages.

Long SMS Text Message Support In SMSWare Business

The ability to send long (also known as concatenated) messages is built into SMSware Business. When configuring the MO Console the Administrator can define the Maximum SMS length to be used by SMSWare Messenger clients. There are a couple of things to be aware of when sending long messages:

  • A long message is actually delivered to the recipient handset as a sequence of standard 160 character SMS texts. Each message in the sequence will be charged by your network operator at your standard SMS rate.

  • The Maximum SMS Length setting is not a multiple of 160 characters. When your network operator splits a long message into a sequence of standard 160 ones, each message in the sequence carries some overhead that identifies its position within the sequence. This allows the individual parts to be delivered out of order and still be reassembled into the full message.

  • The recombination of the each message in the sequence to create the original full version is performed by the recipients’ handset. Almost all modern phones have this capability and will display the long message correctly. Some older phones, as well as GSM modems and terminals will display each message in the sequence separately.
