Email archiving

It captures and preserves all email traffic flowing into and out of the email server so it can be accessed quickly at a later date from a centrally managed location.

When the need arises to search historical email for internal investigations or for a court-ordered legal discovery, organizations can search thousands of email records in seconds using search tools embedded in the email archiving system.

There are email archiving applications to support email messaging systems, and they can be installed in-house or can perform as a hosted service.

In addition to email and attachments, some email archiving applications also archive all aspects of a mailbox including public folders, offline PST files, calendars, contacts, notes, and associated metadata and context.

Email archiving can also enable applications for end-user search, data protection, disaster recovery, eDiscovery, and compliance supervision.
