A Message Map of each e-mail is stored in the Index to make previewing messages faster and easier Captured messages cannot be modified or deleted by users | Search and ReplayAll the software needed to search, list, view and retrieve archived messages (as well as capturing them) is contained in the Guard E/N appliance Messages retrieved from the CMS/Archive™ are replayed – individually or in bulk - through the existing e-mail system to the users inbox Users are restricted from accessing other users archived messages and can only replay to their own in inbox Users access the Search and Replay™ tool using familiar desktop tools like Outlook or standard web browsers Preview messages before retrieving Search criteria includes Received; Sent; Date; Sender; Recipient; Subject field; Existence of attachment; Importance; Size of message The CMS/Archive™ serves three valuable functions – as a central corporate archive; a virtual message store for users; and, a staging area of e-mail content for integrating into other corporate systems | |
