MailArchiver for Exchange leverages the journaling feature of Exchange Server, providing unparalleled scalability and reliability. Other mail archiving solutions actually replace the mail with a link to their database – this can be a point of failure and can bring down your entire email system. MailArchiver works in parallel and does not touch the way Exchange works.

Because email is stored in a standard SQL database, it is easy to backup and restore; no special Exchange backup tools are required.

It is possible to archive emails in multiple databases – this overrides the problem of having one large database that becomes slow and requires more maintenance. MailArchiver allows you to automatically archive emails to a new database after a specified time, for example, every month or quarter.

MailArchiver compresses and decompresses attachments on the fly, which results in considerable savings in terms of storage when compared to storing attachments in the Exchange stores. In addition, storing email in SQL Server is up to 80% more space efficient than storing in PST files. Furthermore, there are more compression and backup features and tools available for SQL Server than for Exchange. An added advantage is that MailArchiver archives only one copy of attachments sent to multiple recipients.

If you are storing all your company mail on the Exchange Server, email performance will start to decline over time. Moving old emails into a MS SQL Server will keep your Exchange stores compact and your Exchange performance high.

MailArchiver provides the possibility of centralizing email archiving to one physical location by polling emails from multiple locations. For example, an office that operates in the US, UK and Australia may want to archive email of all offices centrally in one location – the US office.

MailArchiver allows you to grant a user viewing rights to all email relating to a specific Active Directory Group, for example, the Sales Manager would be able to view all emails sent or received by his team.

Having a central store of email, enables you to easily search corporate email for particular text and enforce any company email policies you may have in place.

MailArchiver can be used with Exchange as well as other email servers with the capability of polling emails from a mail server which supports IMAP and Active Directory.

Using MailArchiver for Exchange eliminates the need for users to archive their mail in PST files on local hard disks. These PST files end up being very large and are difficult to backup and search. Many users do not know how to organize their PST files properly. With MailArchiver, users can browse to the web search interface and retrieve past email from the SQL database, rather than having to dig through a store of PST files on disk to find a particular mail.

Under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act 2002 and Security and Exchange Commission (SEC) rules, public companies must prove that their internal controls and audit trails are sound and that their processes are capable of producing certifiably correct data. Companies must retain all correspondence created, sent, or received "in connection with an audit or review" of a public company for a period of seven years, during which time these records must be non-erasable and non-rewritable. This includes any "electronic records" such as email, particularly relating to subjects, departments or individuals involved in auditing procedures. Failure to comply is a crime, punishable by up to 10 years in jail.

MailArchiver is also a valuable tool that aids compliance with the following: E-Comm Act 2000, BS7799-2:2002, Enterprise Act 2002, Decreto del Presidente del Consiglio dei Ministri (8 febbraio 1999) and more.

If required, you can instruct MailArchiver for Exchange to ignore email to and from particular users.

MailArchiver allows users to access their emails from anywhere in the world by using a browser. Emails that had been deleted may also be seen (and restored).

By simply clicking on a button, the user or the administrator can restore an email to a user’s inbox in its original format. MailArchiver restores any archived email (even deleted email) and these are resent to the user as an attachment.
