Reading the CD-ROM or DVD

If you have used CIS's e-mail archive service you can use EmEx, the java application developed by Adam Shepherd of CIS specifically to read these archives. Also, if you have created an archive of your Local Folders using Netscape 4.x or 7.x then you will be able to use EmEx.

Please read the brief introduction into the use of EmEx.

On the archive are e-mail containers, which are just ASCII or text files and there are possibly folders which contain more text files. The e-mail text files on the archive can be read directly (cat, type, more, less) or loaded into any application that can read text files.Please consider deleting the archived folders from the e-mail server, after you have confirmed that you can read the CD / DVD.

Proceed to the E-mail Archive Service requires LDAP authentication
