MailStore Server or Prism Migration?
MailStore Server documents ongoing email archiving workflows. A mailbox export and a managed archive serve different needs; retention, search and user access deserve their own evaluation.

What to check before choosing
- Decide whether you need a one-time export or a continuously managed archive.
