There are two configurable parameters Source format
Starting with Zmeil 2.1, a new mode "Automatic" is implemented
to facilitate setting up a "Source format" parameter. Thus, just
select file(s) to extract messages from and start recovering email data
without going into detail about a message database file format and the
like. Note: you still can specify the "Source format" manually if
the need arises.
- In case the source mailbox is an Outlook Express database (.dbx
file), select the appropriate entry (Outlook Express (.dbx)).
- For Microsoft Outlook (not Express; .pst database),
select Outlook (.pst).
- For any other email program, the Generic mode should be set.
If you specify this
setting incorrectly, the recovery will fail (no messages will be
extracted), or the recovered messages turn out broken. In certain cases
a warning message may appear once the recovery
completes. If you are not sure what to select, try performing two
separate runs with a different setting, then choose the best of the
results.
Search mode, Strict, Average, or Loose.
Controls the "false positive" filtering level.
- Strict mode uses aggressive filtering. This results in least
possible amount of garbage recovered, but may miss certain real messages
if they are significantly damaged. Still, this mode is recommended for
general use.
- Loose mode uses relaxed filtering. Anything somewhat resembling
the email message will be extracted. However, this brings in massive
amounts of garbage. The resulting set of messages requires an extensive
manual review. This mode is only recommended with a severely damaged
email databases.
