Messaging and Directory Server software used around the world in the Government, Military, Aviation and Commercial sectors.
M-Store X.400 uses directory based configuration, which means that configuration information is stored in M-Vault X.500. Use of directory for message store configuration gives a highly flexible approach, integrated with the configuration of the M-Switch. This allows for client/server configuration management and sharing of configuration information between servers. Configuration is managed with the EMMA (Enterprise Messaging Management and Administration) described in the Directory Based Configuration of the Isode Messaging Servers.
Operational management makes use of the SOM (Switch Operational Management) framework, described under M-Switch Operational Management. This provides a client/server system for managing M-Store X.400. Management is performed by XMSConsole, which can manage mailboxes and connections.

Features of XMSConsole include:
- Supports management of multiple M-Store X.400 servers from one place.
- Overall status information on connections and mailboxes.
- Monitors unread messages, a key features for environments where messages contain urgent actionable information (such as the military or aviation environments).
- Manages X.400 auto-actions (auto-forward, delayed auto-forward and auto-alert) - see here for more information.
- Provides information on each mailbox, and the messages contained in the mailbox.
- Deletion of messages and mailboxes.
- View the active connections to M-Store X.400 (Uses the SOM protocol to contact the P7 X.400 Message Store).
M-Store X.400 provides audit logging of key events, and uses Isode events for errors and operational information. This is described in here.
M-Store X.400 provides SNMP monitoring of general status and network connection. Events may also be monitored by SNMP, with alerts using SNMP Notifications (TRAPs). Further information is given here.
