You probably came across situations in which emails could no longer be delivered to you or inbox because it already reached the size limit. On the bright side of things you can bypass such inconveniences by saving all of your email account inside a secure database, and MailShelf Pro is the application to use in this regard.

Before you can enjoy all the application has to offer, it’s a good idea to make sure your computer is fitted with .NET Framework, as well as Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable Package, but there’s a high chance they’re already there, since they’re usually delivered as default features in modern Windows iterations.

One of the first steps of the application is to configure the environment in which the program suits your needs best. In other words, it can be used for individual purposes by storing the database on a local computer, or you can choose the multi-user environment which allows you to use a Microsoft SQL Server as well.

The set of functions is the same regardless of where you choose to deposit data. However, the storage space is not enough, and you also need to configure the source of your emails. The profile section handles this task, and you can include multiple profiles from a whole range of email clients, be them already installed on your computer or by manually setting up a POP3 or IMAP connection.

By default, the backup operation is manually performed, but you can set up a schedule. This can mean a periodical check in custom days, with the possibility to run with a particular set of computer credentials. In this regard, the zebNet Volume Shadow Copy service (required for program functionality and deployed through the installer) comes in handy because it allows autonomous checks and backups even for active items.

The application lets you view the entire structure of the profile in the archive section. Items here can not only be viewed, but also managed with options like moving to a different folder, printing, searching, deleting, marking, or exporting to a variety of popular email file formats. Finding items of interest can be performed better through the search tab.

Last but not least, the settings panel helps you configure what and how to grab. Content filters can be set up for downloading and even viewing to protect your computer. Blacklists can be created, or certificates included. Moreover, the application can have messages removed from your actual account in order to save space.

Bottom line is that MailShelf Pro is a powerful application which benefits both individuals and organizations. You can have your entire email account saved in a secure database at regular intervals, filtered for malicious or improper content, and cleared of messages you no longer need.
