Why Teams Need Email Archiving Software
Servers prune old mail, accounts get closed and one breach can wipe a mailbox. A local archive keeps every message, attachment and folder in a copy that the team controls.

Hands down, this is the best email archiving software out there. I had a bunch of email files that I needed to archive into the local hard drive of my computer. After reading up on a few manual methods, I realized how long of a process that would be. I looked up a few automated software and this tool came up. I read the previous reviews and bought the tool. Suffice it to say that I’m happy with my purchase.
I had to archive my email files only for a particular email address. At the suggestion of a colleague, I picked up this tool to help me with this task. I believe the email archive software works pretty well and takes care of the tasks that it says it will. Apart from this, it has a simple UI that I personally found quite easy to navigate. If I had to rate this email archiving tool, I would give it four stars.
This is my second email archiving solution. I believe the application that I used before this didn’t have anything near the features that this email archive software offers. If someone were to ask me for a suggestion, I would recommend this email archiving software to them in a heartbeat. What I liked most about this tool was its ability to archive emails from 100+ different email service providers and the built-in IMAP server auto-detection.
