Upgrading from Mail Utilities to Signature Manager Exchange Edition

Mail Utilities is only compatible with Exchange 2003 and earlier. If you are moving to Exchange 2007 and above, you need to upgrade to Signature Manager Exchange Edition.

Although Mail Utilities and Signature Manager Exchange Edition perform a similar function, they are completely separate programs and built on different code. Due to this, there is no file export/import feature between the two products, so you need to recreate your rules and templates in Signature Manager Exchange Edition.

The template and rule editor in Signature Manager Exchange Edition is much easier to use, as well as being more powerful and flexible, so it will not take long to recreate templates and policies.

Also, as Signature Manager Exchange Edition allows for more flexible rule combinations than the one sender and one recipient rule set allowed by Mail Utilities, you may find you can cut down on the amount of rules you have.

You can also easily clone any templates or policies you make in Signature Manager Exchange Edition, so you can make any changes without having to start from the beginning each time.

For assistance using the template editor in Signature Manager Exchange Edition, refer to the online manual here.
