How do I use Mail.dat data to perform the functions described above?
Use post-presort software for Mail.dat processing. Mail.dat provides the information necessary to perform the functions discussed above, but Mail.dat alone does not perform these functions. Post-presort software is needed to use the Mail.dat information to its fullest extent. Packaged software applications are available from various vendors who specialize in Mail.dat functionality. Proprietary applications developed in-house are also very useful.
