Stephen Foskett, Pack Rat: Email Archiving: Just Can’t Get Enough

  • jb · 1 year ago
    Question - the back end seems to be covered by this post and some of your earlier ones but have you ever worked with alternative backup/management solutions for email?
    Documentum Client for Outlook (DCO) comes to mind.
    The question for you becomes how do we deal with an increasingly "modded" outlook experience where data resides on Exchange and on a Content Server.

    That's a really good point. As we expand the groupware features of email, and add more and more servers, we can find ourselves undermining our ability to archive all of the content. Sure, a conventional product might archive the Exchange content, but an Outlook user might have a dozen other content sources, from RSS to Documentum to ICS to IMAP, that would not be archived...
