How to hide the subject of Outlook Mail messages in the CubeBackup web console.

---

Mail subject is viewable by default

By default, the subject of the backed up Outlook Mail messages can be seen by the administrator of CubeBackup, which makes it easier for the administrator to find out the right messages to restore.

However, for security and privacy reason, you may need to hide the subject of the backed up messages in CubeBackup web dashboard. CubeBackup allows you to turn off the visibility of the message subject with a configuration setting.

When the subject was hidden, the subject field of Mail messages will be shown as [subject is hidden] in CubeBackup web console.

Hide the subject of Outlook Mail messages

• Log(or SSH) into the backup server.

• Open the config file <installation directory>\etc\config.toml on the backup server using a text editor.

  On Windows, the default installation directory is located at C:\Program Files\CubeBackup365.
  On Linux, the default installation directory is located at /opt/cubebackup365.

• Find the [Web] section and change the value of HideEmailSubject to true. If your config.toml file doesn't contain the HideEmailSubject entry, you will need to create one.

  HideEmailSubject = true

  The [Web] section should look like this after the modification:

  [Web]
  Bind = ":80"
  HideEmailSubject = true
  ...

• Restart the CubeBackup service using the following command.

  • Linux
