Archive Manager for Exchange 8.7 - Universal Access Guide

About Universal Access

Universal Access is an additional feature of Archive Manager for Exchange. It consists of two components:

·IMAP Server for Archive Manager – this service processes IMAP requests from clients and outputs responses for these requests.

·IMAP Wcf Service – communicates with Archive Manager for Exchange to provide access to the IMAP Server for Archive Manager.

Each component can be installed on a separate machine and the machine could be inside or outside the domain where Archive Manager for Exchange is installed. If the components are installed on machines in another domain, a trust relationship must exists between the two domains.
