MailMeter is a service offered by the Students Affairs IT Team to help search, retrieve and archive emails. All emails sent and received to your mailbox will be automatically sent to MailMeter for archiving and attachment stubbing. Student Affairs has been using Mailmeter for over six years now and has seen the size of mailboxes go from 2GB to averaging around 500mb (0.5 GB). This has increased the performance of Microsoft Outlook (the preferred desktop email client) and reduced calls to IT Assistance.
The purpose of MailMeter is aid in decreasing the size of your mailbox and making your email program work faster. If you delete any emails from your mailbox, the emails will still be accessible in MailMeter through search and retrieval. As well, emails that are older than 30 days will have their attachments stubbed.
Stubbing means that an attachment is removed from an email and is stored onto the MailMeter server. The removed attachment is replaced by a link in an email that directs you to download the attachment in MailMeter.
