Email Archiving Software for Providers

Service providers are able to broaden their portfolio and offer customers all the advantages of modern email archiving as a service.

With thousands of customers in over 100 different countries, MailStore Server is one of the world’s leading email archiving solutions. The solution is used by both small and medium-sized businesses across all sectors of industry, as well as by numerous government agencies, administrative bodies, and other public institutions. 

The MailStore Server provides benefits for business owners, IT administrators, and end-users. Businesses are faced with the challenge of meeting a growing number of compliance requirements. This poses a severe impact on email management. The foundation to fulfil these requirements, email archiving must be an integral part of any business email governance strategy. In addition, MailStore Server can help customers meet their obligations under the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation, among others by defining sophisticated retention policies.  Email archiving can assist with certain eDiscovery scenarios by enabling a company to search its entire email collection in a single step. 

As far as the IT department is concerned, deploying MailStore Server means one thing above all a reduction in the workload. Valuable time and resources within the IT Department can be freed up and allocated to new projects, but It administrators in particular stand to benefit from many other advantages. 

MailStore Server is quick and easy to install, as well as requiring little maintenance. MailStore Server allows you to cut server storage requirements. Once archived, emails can be deleted from the email server according to predefined rules while still being available to users via the archive. The amount of storage required can be reduced by de-duplicating identical mind parts, meaning that the data in the archive occupies up to 70% less space on the email server than before. 

Since the volume of data on the email server is reduced, backup and restore times are significantly shortened. By creating individual retention policies, administrators can maintain complete control over how long different types of emails are archived. They can define whether emails are automatically deleted from the archive and when the deletion should occur, thereby complying with the different retention policies that are possibly mandated by regulatory requirements. 

MailStore Server has several benefits for the end-user. Also, a fast full-text search function that allows even large amounts of data to be searched in fractions of a second means that users can quickly locate content hidden away in emails and any type of file attachment. Also highly popular among users is the option of restoring emails from the archive with just a single click of the mouse. With MailStore Server, users themselves can restore emails that have been deleted by mistake or otherwise become lost without having to call on the services of an IT administrator. 

And thanks to the convenient and intuitive MailStore Outlook add-in, MailStore Server can be integrated seamlessly into the user’s customary working environment. The add-in provides all the key functions, such as a convenient search facility, accessing of emails via the user’s customary folder structure, and a one-click restore function. 

Users also profit from the elimination of mailbox quotas. The fact that emails can be deleted automatically from the email server once they have been archived means that the volume of data on the email server can be kept at a constantly low level, thus eliminating the need for mailbox quotas.
