·Message handling - choose how Archive Manager should internally handle messages at processing; default option should be "Delete" to save space on the machine (email will be archived, shortcut will not be created and the original email will be deleted from the message store directory). Other options (Zip and Store) can be useful for diagnostic purposes.

·Message store directory - if "Zip" or "Store" is selected for Message handling, specify the directory where zipped or stored processed messages should be stored (they are also stored in the archive)

·Archive mailbox - this functions as journal mailbox. All defined SMTP communication is archived in this mailbox. When User 1 sends email to User 2, User 2 receives the original email. A copy of this email is sent to the journal mailbox.
