Mailshell Exchange Plugin - Configuration

To run the Mailshell Exchange Plugin Manager, go to "Start->Programs->Mailshell Exchange Plugin->Exchange Plugin Manager".

Automatic Spam Folder Cleanup

The Mailshell Exchange Plugin can automatically empty your spam folder. To setup the Exchange plugin to periodically empty your spam folder, do the following:

  1. Click on the "Enable automatic cleanup of spam folder" checkbox.

  2. Enter a date and time to perform the first spam folder cleanup.

  3. Enter the interval in minutes between spam folder cleanups.


  4. Enter in days, how old spam should be before it is deleted.


  5. Click on the "Save Settings" button.

Spam Folder Name

To change the name of the spam folder, enter the desired name in the "Spam Folder Name" textbox and click on the "Save Settings" button.

Spam Header

The Exchange plugin will look for the specified message header to determine if an e-mail is spam. If this header is present, the message will be moved to the spam folder. By default, messages with the "X-SpamCatcher-Flag: Yes" header (inserted by Mailshell's Gateway software) will be moved to the SpamCatcher folder.

Other gateway software will likely require a different "Spam Header" setting. The gateway's documentation should be consulted to determine the proper header setting.

Enable Logging

Check the "Enable Logging" checkbox to have the Exchange plugin log to a file.

Log File Name

Enter the full path of the log file for the Exchange plugin.

Uninstalling the Mailshell Exchange Plugin

  2. Un-register the event sink. In the Event Sink Registration section, do the following:
      a. Select the System Mailbox.
      b. Click on the "Unregister Event" button.

  3. Uninstall the application. From the Start Menu select "Programs > Mailshell Exchange Plugin > Uninstall".
