Question:
How to archive Incoming/Outgoing E-Mail?
Answer:
The basic approach is to store all incoming and outgoing e-mail in a way that provides fast and
secure access to the information when it‘s needed.
If you are using Microsoft Exchange Server, it’s easy to create a copy of every processed e-mail
in any mailbox. These can then be easily and fully automatically imported using ACTIVE IMPORT and
archived according to pre-set rules. Exchange just needs a couple of quick modifications.

With ACTIVE IMPORT, you’ll have several options to handle e-mail – in a static way or dynamically using metadata – and set up your own ideal archiving rules. If they are configured as a Server Job, e-mail will be fully automatically processed on the server (or any other PC) without any further administrator help.
Please note that with automated storage of e-mail you may be working with personal data. This falls under privacy laws and must be handled accordingly.
