Email Archiving
What is Email Archiving?
A separate, tamper-proof copy of every email sent and received — kept for compliance, legal discovery, and business continuity.
Why Email Archiving Matters
Deleted emails are gone forever unless you archive. For regulated industries, archiving isn't optional — it's the law. Even for small businesses, it's insurance against disputes.
