MessageSolution Enterprise Email Archive is an email archiving and eDiscovery platform for compliance, litigation support, and storage management. It lists support for Microsoft Exchange, Exchange Online, IBM Lotus Domino, Google Mail, Novell GroupWise, and Linux/UNIX email servers. An existing journal mailbox can capture inbound and outbound messages before users can delete them. The built-in full-text search engine and database do not require a SQL server, according to the product page. Litigation tools include legal hold, classification, tagging, annotations, message pathway analysis, and authenticity verification. Deployment choices include cloud, on-premise installation behind a customer firewall, and hybrid arrangements. Archive access is listed through a browser, Outlook, Lotus Notes, OWA or DWA, and offline access; the feature matrix also lists Mac and iOS access. Administrators can configure retention, filtering, storage, and stubbing policies and review activity reports. The vendor says compression and single instance storage reduce email storage by an average of more than 75%. Pricing is on request, with a maintenance minimum of 600 USD per year. Nonstandard or modified email server environments may require weeks or months of customization and engineering fees.
