Message Archive Search

Message archiving is a method of storing all email traffic for a domain -- either incoming messages, outgoing messages or both -- in a separate location on the mail server. Typically, this feature is used for companies that need mail servers in compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 or other regulatory compliance.

It is important to note that message archive search is availalbe to domain administrators only when rules are set up individually for their specific domains. If archiving is set up for "all domains" on a server, then only the system admininstrator will be able to search the message archive. Therefore, if a domain admin needs access to the email archive for the domain "example.com", then a new Message Archiving rule for example.com needs to be set by the system admin.

When message archiving is set up for a specific domain, that domain's administrator will see a Message Archive Search option in the navigation pane when they click on the Email icon. It will generally appear under My Today Page. Domain adminstrators can search for a message by date range, the sender's address, the recipient's address, or the subject.

System administrators can perform a message archive search by clicking on the manage icon and then clicking Message Archive Search in the navigation pane. System administrators can search for a message by date range, the sender's address, the recipient's address, or the subject.
