Overview

When GFI MailEssentials is installed on Microsoft^® Exchange, a dedicated user must be created to use any of these features:

• Deliver spam email to an Exchange mailbox sub-folder (required when installing on Exchange 2010 or newer versions only).
• Information Store Protection using EWS (not required when using VSAPI, this option is only available on Exchange 2010).
