-If Muse fails to launch on a user's system, entering '''java -Xmx1g -jar muse-standalone.jar''' in the system's command line should cause the file to run. This launches the tool with 1GB of memory available, however changing the number in '''-Xmx1g''' allows the user to increase memory for particularly large email archives.
-== User Experiences ==
-<!-- Add hotlinks to user experiences with the tool (eg. blog posts). These should illustrate the effectiveness (or otherwise) of the tool. Use a bullet list. -->
