Email Archiving- How it works
MessageLabs Hosted Email Archive service safely and securely stores all emails sent or received by your
email server in offsite data centres freeing you from the expense and effort involved in storing and
managing huge amounts of email in-house.

- An administrator sets up accounts, permissions and configures retention policies.
- Depending on your preference, you will either deploy an on premise archive server within your environment or a purely hosted set up with emails journaled via a secure TLS connection.
- A secure, external, repository is established to store, manage and maintain your archived email.
- As email is sent and received within the primary email system, a copy of each message (including internal email) is sent to the data center.
- Email and attachments are de-duplicated and securely stored along with relevant metadata.
- Mail can easily be retrieved from the hosted archive by users within the company.
- Supported mail servers include: Microsoft® Exchange 2003, 2007 and 2010, plus IBM Lotus Domino 6.x – 8.x, Novell GroupWise and Linux/Unix mail servers (SMTP).
